Hi Robert,

Almost every computer ever will only let you use either the onboard
GPU (HDMI on the main board) or the graphics card. It would be highly
unlikely you can use both at the same time.

It's not a Ubuntu thing, it's a hardware thing.

Your best bet might be finding a graphics card with the number of
outputs you want to use all at once (and make sure it can drive them
all at the same time).

Regards,

Jared
