You could, but you would be better to throw the GT 620 out and connect all four to the R9 290.

The R9 290 can support up to six displays.
You can have a maximum of two on the HDMI or DVI outputs, others must be Displayport.
For this reason, to support four displays at least two of them must support display port input.
If you card does not have enough Displayport outputs, you can use an MST hub to run up to three monitors off a single Displayport output.
Using the R9 290 in this way also allows you to run full screen games across all four monitors.

Going back to having the two cards installed though, you can run two monitors off each using any of the available outputs on each card. You will only be able to run full screen games on one monitor.
