Public bug reported: I have a rather strange setup, with an nvidia and AMD card, both with connected displays. (Connected to the same monitors, in fact).
The AMD card is the EFI primary card, and is what drives the kernel framebuffer. This is correct; it's the one that's plugged into both monitors. modesetting, for soume reason, picks the nvidia card as the output master and the AMD card as an output slave. This is good, in that it can drive both my monitors, and bad in that rendering on the nvidia card is literally seconds-per-frame (presumably it lacks reclocking support).
