Description
I currently have 2 discrete GPUs on my system, the main one is an RTX 4060 Ti and the secondary one is an RTX 2060 SUPER. I want to display the data from the main one, as the other remains idle most of the time. However, there the secondary is auto-selected:
29/07/2024 12:56:37 [WARNING] Found 3 GPUs on your system (0 AMD / 2 Nvidia / 1 Intel). Auto identify which GPU to use.
29/07/2024 12:56:37 [DEBUG] This GPU will be used for stats: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

Research direction
Start by locating the GPU auto-identification code that emits the warning and debug messages in the issue. Trace how the selected GPU is used for statistics, then determine where a user-selectable choice can be exposed. Done means the configured GPU is selected consistently instead of the automatically chosen RTX 2060 SUPER.
