The asterisk (*) sign next to a GPU device's name in the list means that a monitor is connected to that GPU device. If two or more monitors are connected to the GPU device, there are 2 or more asterisks next to the GPU device name.

There is a tooltip that appears upon hovering over the asterisks that shows information on the GPU and number of monitors connected to it.
