Re: Multi video cards question!

Yes. ISBoxer assigns a Display (Monitor) to each game instance based on your Window Layout, and then DirectX uses that GPU (which powers that Display) for rendering.

When you do this, one easy way to configure a working Window Layout is to set "Cross-monitor swapping" to False in the Window Layout Wizard. This will suggest Window Layouts that keep each window on its host Display, so you don't lose performance by moving a window from one GPU to the other (where it will render slowly).

This is discussed in GPU Management

Re: Multi video cards question!

yes i already do that lax, but it seems not work right, when i play POE and assign my gts 250 for it, dont matter what monitor the game is on, the rendering is beeing done by the gts 250, i tested it with 5 wow opened in the gtx 295 and them open POE in the gtx 295 too and it lagged badly, when i change the config in POE options to gts 250 the game stay with no laggy at all, no matter what monitor it was on ;( i agree with what you said, but it seems not to work that way ;/

Thanks again lax!

In order to move further on this, you will need to produce your configuration with it configured that way (make sure you actually export it and test it before copying it to me) so I can verify that it's configured to do what you're saying it should be configured to do, and we can go from there
