What's the cheapest graphics card I can get to run 3 (1440x2560) monitors?

I'd like to add a 3rd monitor to my work PC but I'm not sure about the best way of doing this.

The current card is a 9500GT with two DVI ports.

The MOBO is an Asus P6T

Could I potentially add another cheap graphics card to power a third monitor or will I need to buy a new card capable of running 3 monitors on it's own?

If I need a new one, what budget options are available? I don't game on this PC, just used primarily for photoshop, video and web use.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, I've just googled it to research and apparently it only supports 1080p, so unfortunately it wouldn't work well for 3x(1440x2560) monitors :(
 
Do pretty much all modern new graphics card support this now or do I need to look for something special?

Would any eyefinity graphics card work or is that capped at 1920x1200?

What about the nVidia equivalent of eyefinity (is there such a thing?)
 
2xDL-DVI and a Display port will drive 3 screens and any modern card that has these connection, be it AMD or nVidia will run 3 screens just fine :)
