So I have four monitors, and eyefinity causes me motion sickness... So I have my 3 main monitors set up PLP and spaced out a decent bit, and have my TV on the desk to my right for watching movies, or youtube videos, or just getting something out of my way that I can't close just yet.

I can't seem to have all four at once though, do you guys know what I'd need to do to get all four monitors running? (outside of eyefinity)

Ports are Displayport, DVI, DVI, and HDMI (the HDMI being the one I can't seem to get running)
I'm also using 2 R9 280x Vapor-x cards.

The old 7970 chip on some 280x cards does not support DVI-DVI-HDMI output at once.

Yes some the 7970's cannot output all 4 channels at once.

Anyone know if a MST hub would allow this 4 monitor configuration to work?

If it's just for youtube, you could easily get away with using onboard graphics. (assuming you have that option)

^ Onboard graphics are generally disabled when you use a dedicated card.

You could use a hub, but then you'd just be duplicating one of the 3 displays onto the 4th. Sounds like he wants to have 4 individual outputs. Only way to do that would be to have a GPU that can do so.
