Heyas,

I'm wondering if the R9 290 can support 4 monitors at the same time.

My current GPU(Sapphire HD 5770 1GB) has 4 Video Ports(2 x Dual-Link DVI, 1 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort) but only 3 monitors may receive video simultaneously at any time.

I'm considering buying the SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 290 4G(1 x HDMI (with 3D), 1 x DisplayPort 1.2, 2 x Dual-Link DVI-D) and I was wondering if this will support 4 at the same time, or is it limited to 3 simultaneously as well.

My monitors are 3 x ASUS PB278Q (2560x1440) and 1 LG IPS224 (1920x1080).

Thanks!

The card will support four monitors, software wise, I know you run 3 monitors together, and you can run a 4th separate I believe (its been a while, I cant remember how or which cables you need I know you'll need display port and box though). But the card itself can handle cards. Be careful with r9 290's though, reference cards run HOT, like watercooling needed hot.
