Each monitor using a different video card - fixed.
I have 3 monitors and 2 video cards (Nvidia GTX 670).
I play SWTOR with 2 characters. I wanted each character full screen on a separate monitor and the last monitor for general computer stuff.
I followed quite a few threads on these forums trying to get each game window to use a different video card. Nothing I tried worked until I assigned a specific card to the duty of Physics in the Nvidia control panel.
If I set Physics to automatic I think it then treated the video cards as if they were in Sli even though Sli was disabled.
This had me tearing my hair out so thought I would post in case it helps someone else. Obviously only applies to Nvidia cards.
I had followed the Window Layout Wizard and didn't have my game windows swapping and had disabled Sli but the games still played on one video card until I did the above fix.
