Ha how many could you, or how many would you want to? Playing with Eyefinity over three 4k monitors on a single 290X would be painful.

Yeah I believe it is up to 6 with an MST hub, but you'll only be gaming on one monitor with one 290X

man that's going to be one awesome trading machine. 6 4K screens? the amount of workspace you will have is ridiculous!

Text MIGHT be too small to see perhaps 1440p monitors would be better? unless you have superman vision

 

4x1440p displays would be DOUBLE your current screen space
