I have XFX - Radeon R9 270X 2GB DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card the one with 2 dvi 1 hdmi and 2 mini display ports. I want to use three monitors for the one screen setup and I would like to use my fourth screen (my tv) to mirror my main monitor. That way when I not using eyefinity I can play a movie on my pc and it will show on my tv. Now is this possible with this card? And also will I need two active display port adapters IF I can hook up all four monitors.

Just a heads up - I have a ASUS R9 270 OC DirectCUII, so slightly different but beware of this little delight: I couldn't for the life of me get my three monitors working from my 2 x DVI and DisplayPort or HDMI port. I eventually tracked down a snippet from AMD knowledgebase and it states that using three monitors is only possible (for this card) if both monitors using the DVI ports are identical. Luckily, after swapping out one of my monitors for my son's I got two identical monitors for the DVIs and another for the displayport (active adapter used, not sure if needed). I can now finally run three monitors from this card. Just in case you get issues, this could be worth investigating.
