Multi-GPU non-SLI

[RunsWindowsOnMac]

is there some kind of bug with 1050 Ti's? I've got 2 of them in my old Mac Pro tower running windows 10 pro.

i've got 4 screens being used. One 24" 1080p plugged into the graphics card in slot 1 (EVGA SC2 1050Ti)

and Three 22" 1080p screens plugged into the card in slot 2(Gigabyte Windforce 1050Ti)

when i run benchmarks like heaven or superposition: or games on the main screen i notice the second gpu is being utilized at the same level.
I have no SLI bridge. the cards don't even have SLI bridges. and the motherboard is 10 years old. 

is this just how multiple graphics cards interact? 

PS. i know still running a 2008 computer is way beyond out of date but i can't upgrade til at least the summer to a modern system. 

any one know what's going on or a way to separate the usage between the cards? i like watching youtube or movies on the side with social media on the other side and gaming in the middle.

Are you able to verify that both cards are being utilized during benchmarks?

I know the clock matches or goes up but usage is still idle. I noticed that the other day with superposition but didn't notice it on anything else unless some update causes it.

I just ran the tests again to grab a screen shot. and it's not doing it in anymore. i think i misread GPU shark. now i feel dumb for asking.
