If you get a GeForce GTX 480, yes, you will need a second identical card to run three monitors. That's $920.

Can usually be had for $399 a card, if you shop around. Microcenter, Fry's, TigerDirect (with Bing+Rebates). I have two of them (not in SLI though, as my monitor on my gaming PC is 1920x1080 120Hz -- just two machines with single GTX480 cards, the other one just folds)

If you get a Radeon HD 5970, you can run three monitors and get comparable performance for $679.

More comparable to GTX460 SLI. GTX285 SLI is just as fast on most engines. To compare GTX480 SLI to 5970, you'd either need to quad-fire (two of them - since they're essentially 5850) or run a 5970, with a 5870 in tri-fire. 5850/5870 are fine cards for certain.
