Trouble with 2 GPU's

I have 2 gpu's, one rtx 3070 and one gtx 1050ti. 
I want to use my rtx gpu for mining eth, and gtx for my work (3d modeling in blender, substance painter and unity)
I've configured Trex miner to mine only with rtx gpu.
And I've hooked my monitor to my gtx 1050ti card.
But still when i do my work, my mining hashrate decreases.
I bought a new motherboard (asus b450-f II) specially so that I can fit 2 cards and use them for their specific purpose.
But it seems to be failing.
Please guide me if there's a way to stop rtx gpu to share workload with gtx card and focus only on mining. 
Thanks!

You totally can. Just select the card you want to use in the settings or render options and done.

You can select which gpu to use for Rendering, not which gpu to use for 3d editing in viewport. 

But i changed few settings in nvidia control panel and now it's working to some extent 

Any other tips would be appreciated 

Cheers!
