which older AMD/ATI cards will drive 3 displays using DVI/VGA? no DisplayPort!!!

i'd like to build a specific machine, but need to run MANY monitors in an office-type / productivity environment. no gaming at all. all 2D tasks. i have nvidia cards that can run 4 displays each, but this board has an amd processor so i kind of want to stay in the family and use ati/amd cards.

which ati/amd card (older series, ideally, since i can buy them used and cheaper) would have at least 3 outputs per card, using only dvi, vga, and maybe hdmi? i don't use displayport, and don't want to spend $$$ on adapters or converters.

i'm ok with stuff in the hd4000 to hd6000 series, no need for r7/r9 stuff. unless it's super-cheap.
 
Solution
The R5 230 can do it for $32 (and free shipping)

yeah, but - the nvidia cards are being used on another system! so i can't really yank them and plug them into whichever machine i'm using at any given time. so i would need to get two other cards anyways. on eBay, or local used classifieds. just wondering which chip model or board model actually drives 3 outputs. the nvidia card i have is a gt640 but finding the same ones used is still $70 or more per card.

and yeah, i would prefer amd just for the brand similarity. :p not a terribly GREAT reason, but it is what it is...
