Any evergreen (HD5xxx) radeon or newer with a displayport connection
can support more than two displays.  The only restriction is that only
two non-displayport monitors are supported (all additional monitors
must be displayport).  Depending on the asic, they support up to 4 or
6 independent monitors.
