I've read enough to know that this card can only do 2 dvi/hdmi. An additional 2 would require ACTIVE adapter cables. The one with the best reviews on newegg is this one

but it is for DisplayPort! I would need MiniDP. The only other one I've read about it Accell but there have been reported issues with it not turning on or being glitchy. Are there any other alternatives to Accell?
 
Can't you just use a mini DP to DP adapter along with that? I'm pretty sure my card came with several of them.
 
Ugh.... it's another cable and cost. Shouldn't they make the same cable with a Mini DP instead of DP?
Or am i just being blind and not finding it?
 
I ordered the VisionTek version of the cable linked in the first post. Unfortunately my third monitor beat the cable here so I can't comment about how well it works. My fingers are crossed though.

I'll post my results as soon as it gets here.
 
I've decided to go for the powercolor MDP to DVI.
Two of them are on the way.
I'm surprised there's so much less reviews as compared to the DP to DVI. I thought MDP had been around for quite some time now?
