Nope, you can only use 2 graphics cards if they are the same and in crossfire or sli because they are actually acting as one card. And you can't mix and match nvidia and ati cards either.

I dont think that is true, I think I read (on this forum somewhere) that you can have more than 1 Graphics card running to allow for multiple monitors...they dont have to be in SLi Or Crossfire...

An example thread..

there you will see that several people said that you can more than 2 monitors off different cards without Sli Or xfire.

I didn't know that, thanks for fixing that.

So, with that said you should get some cheap ATI pci card and you should be set.

That's true, You can use a card in a PCI-e slot and a card in a PCI slot and run monitors of both of 'em.
 
Yea, it probably won't do any amazing resolutions or anything. But you could find yourself a very cheap PCI card (as others have said) and run the TV from that. If you're simply running S-Video you're not going to need high res. nor would it really make a difference.
