Disconnect display from GPU?

Question

Probably a stupid question, but I have dual GPUs now (GTX 970, GTX2080Ti). Should I disconnect all displays from the 2080Ti when using it with TF? Just disable the display driver?

Edit: thanks for all the suggestions and info. I think I’ll run the system off the 2080Ti and have the 970 there just in case I want to run a small secondary network.

Why don't you connect your monitor to GTX 970 and use 2080 for acceleration? I don't think the 970 can provide much acceleration in your case.

Disconnecting your display will not prevent the machine from loading your desktop environment most likely (speaking from a Linux perspective, it won't disable loading the DE). Therefore, you won't get the benefit of recouping the memory that would be used for your DE by simply unplugging the display. If you're on linux though, you could manually disable your DE so that the machine only boots to command line and either run your training sessions from there directly, or SSH in from another machine.
