Set "default card" in GPU-Z?

[VanGoghComplex]

I use GPU-Z to provide sensor information for LCDSirReal's Logitech G13 app.

It seems like, about half the time, GPU-Z decides to provide information on my GT710 - the card I use to drive my second display - and not my GTX1080Ti.

It's a really insignificant thing, honestly, but it would be nice to not have to open it and choose the card I want every other boot.

Does anyone know of a way to set the default card or, in absence of that, tell GPU-Z to not pay attention to an installed GPU at all? I won't mind if I never see anything about my 710.

I would expect to see something in the nvidia control panel, barring that possibly in the device manager.

Is the 1080ti in the first PCI-e slot?

It is, with the 710 occupying the third.

I'm not sure where in the control panel or device manger I would look to halt GPU-Z from reporting information on a card, though...

Me either, but I've never run two cards and thought to check which was primary. GPU-Z must be pulling it's information from somewhere.

Hm... not a bad intuition, but it doesn't quite fit. I'm sure WinVidia has the same "primary card" on every boot, but my GPU-Z seems to just pick whichever one it wants. Sometimes is the correct card, sometimes not.

Separate question, but why do you have a gt710 for a 2nd monitor. Your 1080ti can easily drive both.

Silly, silly reasons that I'm sure there's no justification for. =)

I got it in my head that I didn't want my gaming card or my onboard Intel graphics handling the image on my second monitor for "performance reasons." I've since learned that such line of thinking is dubious at best, but figured the $30 I spent on the 710 wasn't too heavy a hit to my pride. =)
