Does the ATI HD5750 support 3 monitors?

[knopix]

Would I be able to plug three monitors into the Radeon HD 5750?

2 into the DVI port and 1 into the HDMI via DVI>HDMI convertor cable

note: I'm using Linux so Eyefinity support is not yet supported

I think so...there was one series that had the HDMI piped into one of the DVI outputs off the GPU, but i don't recall which. Read AT's writeup on the 5750 and 5770, i'm sure it says it in there somewhere.

because i'm bored

t any rate, along with keeping the 5800 series shroud, the 5770 keeps the port configuration. 1 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI port, and 2 DVI ports make up the card’s output options. This is intentional on the part of AMD, as they want to push Eyefinity on these cards just as much as they do on their high-end products, which means they want to use the same ideal configuration. We wouldn’t be shocked to see this modified at the same time as vendors dropping the shroud though; 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 DisplayPort with a flexible HDMI->DVI adapter is a likely configuration.

1 must use the display port. And you must use a active display port adapter.

yeah i was just about to add that. Sorry :X For three displays, you have to use the DisplayPort adapter to power a DVI monitor, unless you have a screen with native displayport input. The displayport adapter is powered and $100.

I've seen several mentions including the AMD forum link provided above about the new video cards coming out in a few months that will address this limitation...
Does anyone have more info on the topic?

It seems the simplest alternative would be to buy two of these cards and run them in SLI, but that really seems like overkill to me for the type of work that I do.
I could buy a lower range PCI card, but then it becomes a pain to deal with drivers, being that I run Linux so support is always lacking.
