Using a second GPU to run a 4th monitor?

I have 3 monitors and an HTC Vive on a GTX 970 so I'm completely out of ports. Would I be able to install my old GTX 670 and plug an additional monitor into that? IIRC, that was something others have done, but I haven't been able to find that thread again. If I'm able to do this, do I just have to install the drivers like normal? Will this cause any issues with my current drivers/GPU?

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Nvidia's drivers only allow four monitors and if your Vive is seen as a monitor then you are out of luck, you can try it by all means but don't be surprised if you get no output from the 680 or you lose outputs from the 970.

Shoot, I hadn't thought about the 4 display limit. I've had this 32 inch tv mounted over my setup forever now and I used to have it plugged in, but never got around to it when I moved everything and now I have no way to use it...Maybe I'll just mirror my TV to it.

Thanks for the reply.
