I've encountered four-GPU Matrox cards where they put four separate GPUs on one PCB and used a bridge to connect them. That puts four devices on the bus. Put two such cards into one system, and you have 8 devices. Actually, I've put three in a Sun workstation, under Solaris, and got all 12 heads active at once. [IIRC, that may have required a modified X server, because Xsun was limited to 10.]
