Can the R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 OC support 4 screens natively?

SAPPHIRE R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 OC
Can this card support 4 displays easily?
These are the ports it has:
1 x HDMI (with 3D)
1 x DisplayPort 1.2
1 x Dual-Link DVI-D
1 x Dual-Link DVI-I

The website says:
"With new AMD Eyefinity Technology, R7 260X now supports up to 3 monitors without DisplayPort connected."

Can I plug 1 monitor to each port for a 4 screen display?

I'm fairly certain it can't; it gives you 4 ports to give you a choice, you can pick any 3 of the 4 ports to connect 3 screens.

AMD do sell graphics cards that support 6 monitors, called the "Eyefinity 6" range, eg: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-7870-eyefinity-6.html

Or Matrox specalise in multi-screen GPUs but note that a Matrox graphics card won't be any use for gaming. eg http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/graphics_cards/m_series/m9148lppciex16/

Not sure if Nvidia offer anything similar.


Edited for typos.

Thanks. But the website says: "Display Support: 4 x Maximum Display Monitor(s) support"?

Apparently, some of the Radeon R7 200-series (250x and upwards) are now able to support 3 monitors concurrently, using the 2 DVI and 1 HDMI ports and 4 ports concurrently, using the 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort ports
