No. Limitations with nVidia's cards mean they cannot support three displays at once. You can hook three screens in, but only two will work.
You'll need a second video card to have three displays.

You can't be serious? Is it like on ATI cards where you can only utilize 2xDVI or 1xDVI and 1xHDMI, then using a display port for the third? Or can you not use three at all?

No, nVidia's architecture is different than ATI's. You can hook three monitors, 2xDVI and 1xHDMI at once, but only two can be enabled at a time.
Depending on your viewpoint, it's not necessarily a bad thing. If you aim to game with three monitors in a Surround or Eyefinity environment, a second card is almost necessary if you want an enjoyable experience. After all, just because a 5670 will run three monitors does not mean it will do it well. However, for more general purposes, AMD's solution is superior.
