Learned something new. It's such a well documented feature on Nvidias page that the only source of more precise information is actually Anandtech themselves, who mention:As I already stated earlier in this thread, I am using 3 legacy ports on my Nvidia card. It's an MSI that does not advertise any special multi-monitor capabilities. Nvidia cards do NOT require display port to use more than 2 displays. You're the one misleading, please stop posting false information.

With Maxwell 2, a single display controller can now drive multiple identical MST substreams on its own, rather than requiring a different display controller for each stream. This feature will be especially useful for driving tiled monitors such as many of todays 4K monitors, which are internally a pair of identical displays driven using MST. By being able to drive both tiles off of a single display controller, NVIDIA can make better use of their 4 display controllers, allowing them to drive up to 4 such displays off of a Maxwell 2 GPU as opposed to the 2 display limitation that is inherent to Kepler GPUs.
This does read though that there are artificial limitations (identical streams) to this feature. Can you confirm/dismiss this?
