After Effects will use all available = cores on all cards. The RAM, per card, will be equal to the smallest of = the two cards (so if one has 1GB, and one has 2GB, both cards will use = 1GB).

Premiere behaves differently but someone else = will have to chime in with the = details.

How do the adobe = apps choose what to use?
I have a quadro 4000 attached to = monitor 1
and also a gtx 570 attached to monitor = 2
How does the adobe app choose which is the card to = use?
I looked but it is not = clear.
