Alright thanks to both of you!
I've first disabled gpu 1 but it was laggy as hell ingame because of the intensity of the other two gpu's.. so I slowly put the intensity lower until I was satisfied with the ingame performance and ended up at intensity 12 (of formerly 19). Also I enabled gpu 1 again and felt no difference.
So I'm able to play TESO at ultra settings while still having 65% of my usual mining output

Hey there,

I have a RIG/PC with 3 gpu's. and 'd like to temporarily use one of them for gaming. But I have no clue how to exclude one gpu out of cgminer 3.7.2 and the mining. Does anyone have a clue how to do this?

And do some of you do the same? I wonder if it's even possible to play a game and mine some coins with cgminer at the same time.. maybe you've had experience with this sort of workload already?

You can disable GPU from the miners menu. then re-enable it there. press [G]pu -> [D]isable -> Select GPU

I would suspect using something like

--device|-d Select device to use, one value, range and/or comma separated (e.g. 0-2,4) default: all

(taken from the Readme.txt file of cgminer 3.7.2)
