They Said It Couldn't Be Done (4 MONITOR 270)

I tried for luls to set up three monitors with my 270 because I was bored (I'm not actually gonna use more than two) but I read you need a display port adapter and you can't have more than three monitors. Well they were wrong! After some messing around I was able to set it up so I could get two monitors running off the iGPU and two off the 270. 

Please note this is just for fun and I won't be using all of these :P

They weren't wrong, you can still only have two monitors powered by your 270? The others are powered the your integrated graphics. They never said you couldn't have more than two monitors if you have a computer with a 270, only that only two can be driven by the 270?

You proved them right didn't you?
You had to use the integrated graphics because you couldn't run 4 monitors without a display adapter on a 270.

Should have mentioned the guy asked if there was any way he could do this and people said there were no work arounds.
