Multiple video cards are not necessarily needed to run more than two displays, Eyefinity can feed up to six separate displays with a single card. Some NVIDIA cards support 3 (maybe more, with the new line) and while your card(s) may be fanless, the majority of discrete graphics cards are not.
I've tried eyefinity and it won't work here. We have two sets of dual monitors that are cloned, Two over the console and two (cloned) at the MIDI station. and a third monitor for floating windows to the left of the main recording console. (5 in all)

Waves is the only developer that will not run perfectly on our system.
