How to: Multi Monitor Setup

My graphics card: AMD Radeon HD7870

It has one HDMI Port, one DVI Port and two mini-display ports.

 

On the box, it says that it can support upto four monitors. Makes sense.

 

Is it Possible on Microsoft Flight Simulator X, to have 3 monitors (to set up a wideview angle)?

Also, is it possible to add an additional monitor so I can see other things like my desktop, Active Sky, FSInn Control panel etc?

 

Lastly, how does it work? I believe that I will have to connect each monitor to a separate display port. Is that correct? (I'm sort of a noob)

 

One more thing. Would you recommend I have three Widescreen Monitors for the wideview display, or three square ones?

Best Regards

It will work.

 

This might help you although I cannot verify it at this moment (customer blocking me from seeing YouTube stuff):
