Graphics card with 6 monitor support?

I am looking for a card to power 6 HD monitors, likely all DVI inputs.

Its for a work project, displaying office apps and web pages, not gaming or graphically intensive. I don't want to mess with multiple cards, so a single card, double width is fine.

I thought any 1050 or R9 would be fine but cant see any. Are there any cards that do this natively with HDMI, DVI, mDP output combo or should I be looking at a displayport MST hub instead?

Before anyone posts, I do not want 2 graphics cards!

Thanks
 
Thanks for that.

this seems to be over £500 though, it would appear I could do this cheaper with a 1060 type card plus displayport MST hub for less than £250. Does anyone have any experience with an MST hub?

Thanks all.

I have a 4 port firepro card in the machine already, it looks like i only need an MST hub to up this to 6 outputs overall for an eyefinity display.

I appreciate I can use 2 cards, as I have done at home in the past, but due to the users and purpose for the machines I just don't want to complicate support. I remember looking ta the old 6 port games cards in years past and assumed they were still there in new versions, looks like it was dropped though.
