FAQs

What is a DMS 59 port?

DMS 59 is a connector used on some professional graphics cards, primarily from NVIDIA and AMD, to support multiple monitor outputs from a single physical port. It requires a special breakout cable like this one to connect to standard monitor interfaces.

Can I connect HDMI or DisplayPort monitors with this cable?

No, this cable is specifically designed to connect to DVI-I monitors. You would need separate DVI-I to HDMI or DVI-I to DisplayPort adapters for compatibility with those monitor types.

Does this cable support dual-link DVI resolutions?

The product description specifies 'DMS 59 Single Link Male'. This indicates it supports single-link DVI resolutions. For dual-link resolutions, a dual-link DMS 59 cable would be required, and compatibility must be confirmed with your graphics card.

How do I know if my graphics card has a DMS 59 port?

Look for a distinct connector on the back of your graphics card that matches the appearance of a DMS 59 port. Alternatively, consult your computer's manual or contact the manufacturer of your graphics card or computer system.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

Will this cable improve my graphics performance?

This cable only splits the existing video signal from your graphics card; it does not enhance performance. Performance will be dependent on the capabilities of your graphics card.

Troubleshooting

One or both monitors display no signal.

Verify the DMS 59 connector is fully seated in the graphics card. Ensure both DVI-I cables are securely connected to the monitors. Confirm your graphics card supports dual output via DMS 59. Check monitor input settings.

Screen resolution is limited or incorrect.

Check the graphics card driver settings within your operating system. Ensure the correct resolution is selected for each monitor. Update graphics card drivers if necessary.

Flickering or unstable image on one monitor.

Try swapping the DVI-I connections between the monitors to see if the issue follows the port or the monitor. Ensure all cable connections are firm. Test with different DVI-I cables if possible.

Computer does not detect a second monitor.

Restart your computer with the cable connected. In your display settings, try to manually detect displays. Ensure the graphics card is not configured for single-display output only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your computer's graphics card has a DMS 59 output port.
  2. Connect the male DMS 59 end of the cable to the DMS 59 port on your graphics card.
  3. Connect the two female DVI-I ends of the cable to the DVI-I input ports on your monitors.
  4. Power on your computer and monitors. The operating system should detect the two displays.

Compatibility:

  • Required: A computer with a DMS 59 graphics card that supports dual video output.
  • Required: Two monitors with DVI-I input connectors.
  • Not Compatible: Standard VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI-D connections without adapters.
  • Note: Verify your graphics card's specific DMS 59 port capabilities (e.g., Single Link vs. Dual Link support) with your system documentation or manufacturer.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors.
  • Store in a dry environment when not in use.
