I have a work pc that had 2 amd graphics cards of the same type (don't remember the model, i can find out tomorrow if needed). Each card has only two outputs. A displayport and a dvi port. Is it possible to do a eyefinity setup across 3 screens if two of the screens are plugged into one gpu, and one screen is plugged into the other gpu?

Is this a workstation GPU, or a typical "Radeon" GPU?

 

I don't recall any Radeon GPU's having only one DVI, and a DisplayPort connection -- most will have at least two DVI.

 

If you run the two cards in Crossfire, all three displays must be connected to the primary (top) card.

If, for some reason, your two GPU's do indeed only have one DVI and one DisplayPort, you can use a MST hub on the DisplayPort connection.

The MST Hub can provide up to three (or four?) display outputs. These hubs aren't cheap though...

Wait are you planning to do this at work? Or is it a work pc at home? Or I if the answer you get is the one you wanted, are you going to steal the computer from work?
