Surround with single card

Is there any card or will it be released in future with 3 DVI ports like recent Sapphire Radeon card? (you can connect 3 monitors without any active/passive adapter with it)
It would be simply amazing to have something like Gainward GTX580 3GB for surround.

So meaning you'd need either the rumored 590 or a 295.
EDIT: Not any 295 will work, you need the Duel-PCB version (Has 2xDVI Ports and an HDMI port)
EDIT 2: I have no idea if the rumored 590 will have more than 2 Ports. nVidia Tends to screw things like surround up. IMHO.

nV are definitely treating Surround like a tick-box feature; which is a great shame. It's more a case of "Oh crap, AMD can do triplescreen! We need a solution, STAT!" then "Well, we have the feature, now lets ignore the people that use it." - none of the things I'd like to see added to Surround have been; like a toggle from Surround to extended mode (and back again) at least AMD have been adding features. :(
