I currently own a Sapphire Raedon HD 5770 1GB w/ DDR5 (Link)

I've got two LCDs set up in this configuration:

  +---------++------+
  |         ||      |
  |    1    ||   2  |
  +---------++------+

Im looking into buying a new TV/Monitor, a Samsung T240HD (h**p://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX22473(ME).aspx) and I'd like to set up a tripple monitor setup like this (new monitor being #3)

  +---------++------++---------+
  |         ||      ||         |
  |    3    ||   2  ||    1    |
  +---------++------++---------+
  • Monitor 1: DVI
  • Monitor 2: DVI
  • Monitor 3: HDMI
  • PS3 -> Monitor 3: HDMI2

Is this possible with my current video card? Can I plug in 2x DVI + 1x HDMI and get a third display? Or am I going to have to buy a slew of Display Port Adapters?

I know older video cards you could only have 2 active displays, but I heard that barrier was defeated with the Display-Port series video cards.
