Solve : Not DVI? What is nit?? |
|
Answer» Please look at this photo. I have two PCI graphics cat cards is the other?. One I know is a DVI output. But whaat is the other? Can I use it? My monitor s are standard VGA. Is there an adapter for it? Dual-Link DVI, here's an article on it: Was about to say, it's DMS-59 - but, sorry to correct you be a little pedantic, dual link DVI is a different thing. Dual link DVI is a DVI port with double the bandwidth of single link DVI. Single link is limited to 1920x1200 at 60Hz (WELL, a little higher, but that's the highest standard resolution) so dual link DVI is needed for higher resolutions such as 2560x1440 and for 1920x1080 at 120Hz, etc. DMS-59 is a different kind of connector which lets you connect two VGA or DVI cables to one DMS-59 port for multi monitor setups. You'll need a DMS-59 to dual VGA adapter, as shown in the Wikipedia link posted above.I grabbed it from here fwiw, seems I accidentally a word. and Listed the Used For Column, mostly because DMS-59 seemed too technical, like referring to a Serial port as a RS-232 Port. I also had never seen a connector like that so I just looked on google for video PORTS Hmm, I see. How odd that it's listed that way. Dual link DVI is not a separate connector, it's a DVI standard that can use multiple connectors, such as DVI-I, DVI-D, DVI-A, depending on the card and cable. No idea why Wikipedia refers to DMS-59 as a dual link DVI, that's just confusing. Perhaps "Dual DVI" would be a better way of phrasing it. Wasn't just being pedantic for the sake of it, it was just for future REFERENCE DMS-59 is not a very common connector anyway.Quote from: CALUM on May 31, 2013, 01:27:40 AM Hmm, I see.

I'm afraid I have to go with you. Wikipedia just missed out on so many opportunities to provide excellent documentation. For example, take their article on the Spork. It misses so much of the topic that it's amazing.So I sent a PM to Spock and he showed me this: So there is an adapter that drives two VGA monitors with separate tasters. I need one of those connectors. Thanks guys |
