Photoshop using the wrong graphics card (Dual GPU PC with multiple monitors)

A few weeks ago I had a problem with photoshop where OpenGL didn't work and the canvas showed some display glitches, which was initially solved by updating both graphic card drivers (since one of them was outdated) But now I ran onto a similirar problem.
My two monitors are connected to my Nvdia GTX 1650 card while my drawing tablet is conected to my AMD processor with integrated graphics. I need photoshop to use the same card as the tablet so everything works fine, but photoshop is always trying to use the Nvidia card by default, which causes display glitches and makes OpenGL stop working. I found a quick fix that only works until photoshop is restarted, which is to disable nvidia card while opening photoshop and reenableing it again afterwards, but its a kind of annoying process and I have to do it every single time I open Photoshop.
So my quwstios is... Is there a way to force Photoshop to use a certain graphics card forever? I beleive my way is also causing a bit of lag withing photoshop, but I'll be happy if I solved this problem first.
Thanks a lot in advance
(I leave below the screenshots of photoshop using both graphics cards one at a time, showing its posiible to do it but I don't know how to make it choose one graphiscs card permanently)
