Need Help, adding 2 monitors to 3 Monitor setup problems

Bacon8tor

Hey guys, I know this sounds ridiculous, but they are 2 small monitors for my flight sim here is my current setup

so for now I am adding 2 7" lcd displays like these (https://www.amazon.com/Tontec-Raspberry-Display-AT070TN90-Controller/dp/B00G60FJNG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478481942&sr=8-1&keywords=7"+lcd+display ) and really going to be adding a thrid shortly after likely a 10" . Problem is the my GPU atm does not allow me to have that many monitors. I have been planning on buying a 1070 here in a month or so. 

 

My question is if I get  a 1070 can I leave my 380 ( I will move it down to the secondary PCI slot) and use the 1070 for my main monitors and have the 3 smaller ones plugged in and utilize the Max supported monitors for each card??

 

Thanks any advice would be awesome 

Heres kind of what I am thinking

I don't think you can make Nvidia and AMD work together

ok if thats so for my sanity sake, lets say I buy another 1070 or a 1050(just for extra monitor support) would that work. ?

ok l;et me rephrase thequestion . 

 

If I have two graphics cards 1050's lets say not in SLI. Can I run 8 monitors(which is 2x  max supported for a single card 4 on each card)??

FYI . I tried to rather old cards an nvidia gt 520 and a amd hd 3450 and I was able to run a display off both cards one dvi (nvidia) and the other HDMI. SO I am fairly certain this will work . I am going to try tomorrow with a 750ti and my r9 380
