Thanks for the thanks

Just to let you know I tried the tip I suggested about switching a card off in Claymore and watching what hapens in AB, and for me it worked.
When I switched off a card using Claymore then in AB the clocks throttled back to the idle setting, now one thing to note is that I don't get a 1:1 correlation with Claymore & AB, i.e. Claymore 012345 does not equal AB 123456, this maybe because I'm mining Monero with Claymore CryptoNote v9.7 miner, with AB 4.4.0 beta 16.
Well, I'm not using AB for OC/UV my cards (i'm using OverDriveTool). When I switched off the card in Claymore the OC/UV profile still stays active so I still couldn't identify the card.
(But when I did the profile reset it shows it was the card I tought it will be)
The mechanism I posted above is valid

Not sure about card ID's while mining Monero
The fastest way to determine cards order is to use watttool (even on newer drivers) to monitor for clocks
you can then set "-mclock 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 "

and thus you can determine the proper "-di" order on a single run without the on/off game
the goal is to fix Claymore's order so it would be in sync with watttool order.
