cheapest GPU(s) for multi-display setup? (6x)

[snoopunit]

First and foremost, this is NOT for a gaming setup. I'm looking for the cheapest solution to running about 6 displays for monitoring security cameras over the network. Bare in mind that the camera network is already fully functional, and can be accessed by all of the security staff. At some point in the past, we used to have the camera system hooked up to a actual television, but they decided to rip it out of the wall for some aparent reason. Basically, my goal is to put together a build that can display each set of camera IPs on an individual monitor. Once, i'm satisfied with the build proposal, i'll bring it to my supervisor for approval. Right now, i'm looking at a few cards similar to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814487217

My question is, is this card capable of running 3 displays at once, or only two? Is there some specifc guidelines as to which cards with which kinds of outputs (hdmi/dvi vs dp/mdp) will garuntee that all outputs will function at the same time? Also, I've heard mixed details about the feasability of running gpu's and onboard graphics in tandem. Some articles say that it will work after bios alterations, and some say that it's not worth it. I'm hoping to come up with a graphics solution that will display at least 6 monitors for under $100 USD.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Why should he get the 750ti's? 710 also supports 3 monitors each. and he would still stay under $100

i am just giving an idea, dude u dont have to be so uptight, he can do wut he wants, i just know alot of ppl support the 750ti, as do i,

just get this one on ebay or something:

http://www.amd.com/en-gb/products/graphics/desktop/5000/5870-eyefinity-6

 

plus you could replace 4 1080p displays with a single 4k display

and if you still want 6 displays you can get 6 4k displays to show source from 24 cameras at the same time

 

 

or better yet get a Firepro for that thing they can do crazy 24 displays or something like that with the right adapters

People support the 750ti only as a budget GAMING card.

 

Something like an amd r9 270/280/380/290/390 support 6 displays from one card, I fon't think any non quadro nvidia card can do 6 display from one card though.

you are correct, they cannot, needs additional card for more displays

 

they sell these for people that need a lot of outputs:

ya, and the 750ti, even though it is only supported really work well as an gaming card, it still would prob work pretty well
