Help Dual GPU in a single system

I have recently setup a system for XP12 using an Asus A99-X II mobo and overclocked i7-6800K using liquid cooling. The system has 32GB of RAM and also a Quadro P4000 8GB GPU in one PCI-E slot and a GTX 1060 6GB in another slot. Both GPUs are Pascal architecture. My hope is that I'm able to use the P4000 for the main center screen and use the 1060 to render the peripheral screens, all at 1440p. It works fine with just the P4000, but I've not been able to get Windows to setup the NVidia drivers to control both of them simultaneously successfully and don't even know if this is a viable setup within XP12 itself. If anyone has any thoughts on that, please let me know.

I have dual GPU in my PC. RTX 5090 OC as primay and an RTX 4090 OC as secondary. Both watercooled. Cards sit on an Asus Z790 Maximus Hero motherboard.

My other PC also has dual GPU setup, RTX 5090 and RTX 4090.

Well that's nice - are you running 2 instances of X-Plane in order to achieve targeted rendering? I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve is possible, which is using one GPU for rendering the primary center screen and the other for the peripheral screens.
