So I bought a Radeon R7 240 to do folding at home calculations so I can still use my RX 480 to play games and use for my display and for some reason even if I set it to run on the R7 240 it runs on the RX 480 does anyone know how I can reassign it to only run on the R7240 and not my 480

if you go into Configure > Slots, you can set the GPU index to something else (main GPU would be 0, so the r7 240 would be 1, if it's the second one). Though the configuration doesn't seem to save itself, at least for me, and you may have to set it each time you restart the client.

I think I figured out what was wrong the names were just flipped around and said the second GPU was the RX480 and the first GPU was the R7 240 but really the R7 240 was really under the RX 480 name in the program

Yeah, the names seem to have a habit of flipping.  It the same way on both my computer rigs.
