Video card recommendation for 3 x cinema displays?

Question

I have a 5,1 Mac Pro & 3 x cinema displays - 2 x 30" & 1 x 27" (LED non thunderbolt).

Looking for video card recommendations to run all 3 screens - the 27" LED as my main, & the 2 x 30" screens

as additional screens...

To be honest, I dont actually need that much screen real estate, but I have the screens & think it would be cool

to have them all running together.

Not sure if 1 or 2 video cards are the ideal situation...but open to ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 2 x 30" Apple Cinema Displays

The ATI Radeon HD 5770 can handle all three displays, You will need one Mini DisplayPort to DUAL-LINK DVI adapter.

Plug one 30" into the DVI port, the 27" into one of the Mini DisplayPorts, and the adapter into the other Mini DisplayPort.
