MSI Vega56 support 6 monitors via MST?

Just bought a MSI Vega 56 with the intention to run 6 monitors (using DisplayPort and a MST hub) 

Then I ran across the actual specifications: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-Vega-56-Air-Boost-8G-OC/Specification

I noticed that Gigabyte Vega56 actually advertises 6 (because it has 6 ports on it)

Will this MSI vega 56 be able to run 6 monitors simultaneously or am I out of luck?

Thanks!

Update:

 I did manually try it. It does work with a MST displayport hub.  I did get 6 monitors to run without any issue.  Hope this helps someone else.

Just so nobody else has to go through this... I did test it and can confirm that 6 monitors will run on this GPU.  Just need to use a displayport hub like this https://www.amazon.com/SIIG-Port-DisplayPort-MST-Hub/dp/B0761DWK8K/

You can also use 1 HDMI from the gpu and the rest using cables that are displayport to HDMI/VGA/DVI etc.  I bought a bunch of Displayport to HDMI cables for all my monitors.  Got 6 running without any issues, even though MSI's website says only 4 displays are supported. 

Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks! I was just scanning the forums for something to confirm which cards can run 6 monitors!
