Yes you will get the issue.  No matter how good the cards are, if the
output ports are on separate hardware and share no sync source, there
will always be a chance of getting out of sync.  As shocking as it
seems, a PC has no clock source that gets used by all audio/video
devices for media synchronization (SGIs have this for example, but this
is just an expensive digression).

As far as I know, there are two options (others correct me if I'm
wrong):

1. One card with multiple outputs (less expensive)
2. Multiple cards which share a synchronization signal like word-clock
or sync-from-digital-in, assuming there is a digital source to feed the
cards (more of a studio/professionnal setup).

I'm in a rush now so I have no time to go fishing for good hardware
suggestions, but I'm sure you get the point: do your shopping right.

I'll disappear until beginning of October, so good luck!
