ATI cards (in my case a 5770) are fine driving one monitor via an active
DisplayPort->DVI adapter and two more by DVI directly for a total of
three. It's the configuration I am running right now.
I wound up going with the ATI FirePro v4900 for triple head on RHEL6. I am
using the DVI port, and two DisplayPort to DVI cables to drive three
monitors.
An interesting note... The AMD binary driver locked up the machine. Using the
native RHEL driver, all three screens work, and I get accelerated X and
compiz works great.
Out of curiosity, what kind of performance do you get? In something
rudimentary like glxgears.
