GPU assignment on an per app basis | NVIDIA | Page 1

Hi All,

So I have a 3080Ti and a 5060Ti in my rig, I am trying to assign which GPU is used on an per app basis.

For example I am currently playing Dune: Awakening, if I look at task manager I can see the game is doing the rendering on the 5060Ti (80-100% Utilisation) and then my 3080Ti sits around 15-30% (I presume this is because the monitor I am playing on is only connected to my 3080Ti).

I only want my 3080Ti to be used for Dune, but I also do not want to completely disable my 5060Ti as I am using it on my other monitors.

I have tried changing settings in Nvidia control panel as well as the default Windows graphics settings but neither seem to make any difference.

My Windows, BIOS and Nvidia drivers are all up to date.

Does anyone have any ideas to achieve what I am trying to accomplish. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

How to set default GPU for apps on Windows 11 - Pureinfotech

On a multi-GPU system, Windows 11 lets you set the preferred GPU an app should use to take advantage of performance or improve battery.

Please set the GPU on an per-app basis on Windows Settings

Also, you may also need to set them within the game as well in the game settings

Also, not all games support this feature and may instead use the default monitor assigned in the Windows display settings
