    I have this checked, but when I click on Identify GPU, it shows a big 1 in the middle of the screen, which I presume means the first GPU, then it never changes to 2, which I would think would mean the second GPU, right?

    So since it doesn't show 2, how do I know for sure both GPUs are hard at work for me?

    I appreciate any insight and I hope this wasn't a stupid question, if the 2 had showed up it would've made me feel confident that both GPUs were running :D

    No, it identifies the outputs (screens) that are connected.
    I even has a tooltip text that explains it if you hoover on the identify with your mouse.
    So you're good. ;)
