Is there not the option to set which card is to be used?
If one has a fast GF GTX loaded with cuda cores, and a secondary low
profile GF just to drive additional monitors, will AE use the power
of the lowest denominator in both?
wouldn't it be more efficient to use all cores from the powerful
card, disregarding the low profile one?

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.
