Well, how many will work, and how many will work well is two different question. Pretty sure AMD allows you to use every monitor port you have for surround gaming, if that isn't correct they for sure allow you to use 3. Now.... will a 270 get good FPS while pushing 3 monitors... no, not at all.

To push triple monitor gaming, you need a serious GPU. Think, 980 ti or fury X, depending on the game you may even need SLI 980/ti or crossfire fury/X. It isn't easy to play highly GPU intensive games at what would basically be 3k and get "high fps". If you are trying to play say league of legends or something that isn't very demanding, I bet a GTX 970 would be fine, but if you are playing league on three monitors your doing it wrong lol.

 

What is your system, and what games are you looking to play? CPU will matter, and PSU quality and wattage will matter unless you want to upgrade those as well.

Ok, well, if your overall pc is "shit" then don't even worry about getting a better GPU than a 270 as the GPU will not perform anywhere near its potential. You need a pretty good system to game on three monitors...
