Will my XFX R9 270X 2GB run on triple monitors decently?

Hey,
So I recently built a budget gaming computer, and just got a second matching monitor for Christmas. Since dual monitors work well for multitasking, but are certainly not made for gaming, I was thinking about getting a 3rd matching monitor. I don't expect to get high FPS when using all 3 monitors for gaming, but will they be so low to not be worth it? I am assuming a 3rd monitor would mainly put more stress on my GPU, but is it more/equally dependent on my dedicated memory or CPU or something? Any really technical answers would be appreciated, since I would like to understand how 3 monitors function vs. 1 monitor for games. Thanks!

you can search on youtube

there was a guys using a phenom 6 core and a r9 270x 4gb version playing battlefield 4 multiplayer on ultra settings with 3 1920x1080 monitors and getting 30-50 FPS.

i also have a r9 270x 2gb version and was playing battlefield 4 on ultra with msaa x4 and hbao+ on a 3840x1024 resolution and i get 40-50 fps (thats 2x 1280x1024 on the side and 1x 1680x1050 on the middle)

also played crysis 3 on the same setup on ultra high textures and high presets with fxaa and af 16x no motion blur and get a stable performance (never went down to 30 fps) on the mission in to the jungle.
