Did you find this in chipset docs? I was hoping a board with DP, DVI, and HDMI could support three monitors with an Ivy Bridge CPU.
I just located information on this here:

It's not an issue for either the Asus Sabertooth Z77 (on order) or the Asus Maximus V Gene (might order soon) since they have one DisplayPort and one HDMI output. Hopefully boards down the road will support two DP and HDMI or DVI. I was hoping the Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe (will order as soon as available) would support three monitors however but DP/DVI/HDMI will not work apparently.
You could get a DisplayPort splitter, but you'd be limited to 1920x1200 on each of the DP displays and splitters are still quite expensive.
