Can these two components drive 3 1080p monitors?

I can't seem to find a concrete answer online anywhere, I am really looking for someone who has a setup with the mobo and APU and can verify it works with 3 monitors. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a new build if it wont work.

From all I have read all can drive 2, but I have also read that upon start up only 2 can be seen but once windows loads you can configure a third one. On your board with one DVI and 2 x HDMI I think you can only do 2.  To be able to do 3 you would need 1 x DVI and 1 x HDMI and 1 x Display port or mini display port.
