At the moment i have a AMD R9 280x with the following monitors attached:

 

HDMI: Amplifier > HD TV

DVI: Monitor

Mini DP: Monitor

Mini DP: Empty

 

Since i still have one mini displayport left i was thinking about getting another monitor.

Is it possible to use all the ports on the graphics card at once?

 

The amp > tv is used to stream movies to and it's not turned on all the time.

 

If it's not possible to use all the ports at once will a hdmi splitter do the trick?

you can use the 2nd displayport and have 4 monitors no problem. In fact, with an MST hub you can have 3 monitors off of one display port for a total of 8 monitors on one card! Wouldn't suggest gaming accross all 8 with 1 280x though lol
