Then I don't understand, why discord, which is open on my second monitor, uses GPU 0 (RTX 2070) and not the 710 on which the monitor is plugged in where is have discord open. The 710 has a GPU usage of 0%.

Discord is one of those apps that will refuse to swap over and use the card it launched on thus only creating more work for the 2070. Just take the 710 out of the system and lower the settings a bit or close the programs causing the problems.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a secong graphics card (gt710, the new one) because my rtx 2070 couldn't handle a 4k game and 2 FullHD Displays for Discord and other stuff. My intention was to  plug the 2 fullhd monitor into the second graphics card and now they get providedby that one, but apparently my rtx 2070 still renders eveything, and just sends the video output to the other graphicscard. Because of that everything I put in these screens lags completely and I don't have any Idea why. How can I tell Windows, to render the monitor that is connected to my gt710 on my gt710? Or do you have another Solution for my problem?

 

Setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x

Ram: Vengance RGB 32GB

GPU1: RTX 2070

GPU2: ASUS GT710

 

Thanks in Advance.

2 extra monitors doing nothing but having discord open on them do not add any load to the gpu. Windows does render what is on the other monitors on the gt710 as otherwise the gt710 wouldn't display it. I think ths is more a case of you maxing out your 2070 or cpu in a way during gaming and assuming it's the 710 causing issues.
