X58A-UD3R Xfire Question

Hi guys i just upgraded my Psu to a 850 xfx black edition so i could xfire but my question is would it be possible to xfire 2 xfx5870 on this motherboard?
I've been searching the net for possible answers but none of them actually pinpoint an answer to the question

Er did you go to the product page?

Multi-display support with 3 way CrossFireX and 3 way SLI™
Flexible graphics capabilities - Up to 3 VGA cards are supported for either 3 way CrossFireX™ or 3 way SLI™ action, delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution.

I would take that as a yes you can.

Slots 1 and 3 are your x16 lanes I have the exact same motherboard so just checked my manual
