The sympthoms we had before using the loopback VGA plug was that both cards showed up when listing devices and you could address both of them, but in the end only one was used. So one card ran overbooked and the other was just idling. After lots of farting around we noticed that clinfo showed the same PCI bus ID for both cards. After installing the loop adapter it showed different PCI ids.
After this, I added PCI id to our --list=opencl-devices output but it uses proprietry calls so only works with AMD. For nvidia you can use --list=cuda-devices.
