Windows 10: Effect of Multiple GPUs?

I recently upgraded my GPU to a 3060TI and my brother got a new GPU as well. I took his old GPU which is a 1060-3GB and installed it into my computer as a second graphics card. I have four monitors and I have my first and second main monitors connected to the 3060TI and my third and fourth monitors connected to the 1060-3GB. On the fourth monitor, I have my camera system around the house and that can take up quite a lot of GPU consumption which can affect gaming very graphically so that's why I wanted the second GPU.I also see in my task manager that there are different GPU engines. GPU 1 - 3D

B(lack)SOD after closing GPU demanding applications and games

I would like to suggest 2 more things if you don't mind,
1. Seat the GPU in another slot, if possible, and see if that helps anything
2. Use the GPU in another system, if possible, this is a step to determine that it is really the GPU and not multiple defective slots or something else from the system.

Cripplingly High GPU in Windows 10

Dave, the two processes apparently hogging all the GPU were desktop windows manager and client server runtime process.

However, when I list them now, after numerous reboots and reinstalls, no apps show up as consuming GPU, yet GPU is at 80-100%. I think this is because the apps are only consuming the 3D component of the GPU and not the others - copy, decode, processing or
shared memory usage?

I've spent some time on Google and it seems to be a fairly common symptom but none of the suggested solutions are effective.

It doesn't seem to be linked to any significant changes, I even tried uninstalling the most recent windows updates.

Any thoughts?
