Be sure by doing render tests for selecting the one vs. two gpu on renders. You can compare render speed and times.

I mean be sure that's really not used by renderer. How do u know octane is not using second gpu? You can check gpu usage in render image. Check bottom line of render image for green gpu bars.

oh thanks Aoktar, I downloaded GPU-Z to check, an realize both GPUs are running.
Just curious why task manager only show 1st gpu running, but not the 2nd gpu.
