Hi , I've a simple question

Can I make 3 nVidia graphics cards work together on the same motherboard using ( SLI technology ) ?

For example , 3x(Geforce GTX 460 Graphics Cards)

The motherboard is Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R , so it does support up to 4 graphics cards , but does it differ when it comes to nVidia ?

Thanks :)

You're welcome - also note that your power supply may also limit how many or what types of graphics cards your system can use, especially in CrossFireX or SLI configuration where quite a lot more power is needed for some cards.

I might add that the third card will not do much for you in SLI, you are better off using a less expensive card for phys X and running two way SLI.
