Hi,
First of all, this is my first post since I am new in this forum.
I was wondering if anybody here owns a Radeon HD graphics card with support for MST (Multi-Stream-Transport) Displayports (v1.2).
The thing is, this technology allows for 3 screens to be displayed using only one Displayport of the Video Card.
My question is if you can use the other video outputs of the VGA as well as the display port at the same time?. For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102993

Will this video card allow me to control 6 monitors at the same time? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, as long as each of the three monitors connected to the MST Hub are not more than 1920x1200 resolution. A MST hub can only support 2 monitors that are each 2560x1440 resolution.

If I connect 3 monitors to the Displayport and 1 monitor to the hdmi and another one to the DVI will all five of these outputs work at the same time or just the Displayport ones?

Yes, they will all work
