I'm intended to install two GPU's in my system, to use cheaper one for OS display and more powerful one for rendering (Octane and other), since in that case I can use the whole available RAM of the more expensive GPU, but I'm concerned about viewport performance in modelling software. So the question is - can I setup the most powerful GPU in my system to take care not only of GPU accelerated calculations, but of displaying viewports as well? Sorry for poor english.

i dont think there is such a setting, just use one powerful nvidia GPU with lots of CUDA cores like GTX 580, it will work fine.

In that case I'm losin about 100-150 mb of RAM on OS duties, and it matters, since even for GTX 580 max available RAM on the market is 3Gb. I can't afford top Tesla or Maximus with lots of RAM, but I can't sacrifice my viewport performance either. So my only option here is to lose RAM anyway?
