Always wondered if this was possible.
Does it work on a 3,1 machine before Mavericks to run 4 monitors?

Your assumption is incorrect. Even the old MacPros can support 3 double wide Nvidia GPUs such as GTX Titans, GTX 780 Tis and GTX 680s {you do have to remove HD bays 2-4 to fit 3 in there and you need sufficient auxiliary power}. I hope to be testing a Titan Z in one of mine very soon.
P.S. For better pics and more info, see:

True that; it's x8 for all three GPUs in slots 1,2 and 4. It's the best compromised setting for Expansion Slot Utility.app for those old workhorses.
Right now (and in the relevant posts/pics, above) Mavericks, but I need to install Yosemite to run the Titan Z.
I'd like to order Amfeltec GPU Cluster but found:

and a few more so I'm afraid that I get stuck with junk Windows machine.
It's good to hear that 3 nvidia gpu working with Mavericks for you but I need much more power.
Anyway let me know what about multi Titan Z and Yosemite please.
