Is there any way to effect what GPU name is displayed?

(moderation:
I am bothered (slightly) by my system listing saying I have 3 rtx 2070's online. I have two Titan V's on there too.
I know of one listing on the Top 50 that shows 4 rtx 3080 ti's but actually only has 1.
Would changing the order in the co-processor file and then making it read-only make a difference?
Or some other idea?

Compute capability (roughly
)
Compute capability (roughly equates to GPU architecture generation) is top priority in listing the "display" GPU. this is in the BOINC code for coprocs.
Second priority is memory size. but only gets activated for use if first priority is equal
RTX 2070 is Turing architecture with CC of 7.5
Titan V is Volta architecture with CC of 7.0
7.5>7.0 so it get's the display name.
you cannot list more than 1 display name for cards from the same vendor (Nvidia/ATI/Intel). your display will always be [n]Best GPU, where n is the total number of devices from that vendor, and the name is the "Best" one
changing the order in the coproc file will not change anything. the "best" one is not always the first one or anything like that. the order in the coproc file is based on the PCI ID numbers.
