I was just given what I believed to be an ATI video card with DVI output. When I got it home I found that it didn't have a DVI connector, the above picture shows the connector with a DVI cable next to it for perspective. The connector is physically almost the same size as a DVI connector, but it has more and smaller pins.
The box claims that the card has DVI-I, HDMI, and VGA. Either the card that was in the box didn't match the description or there was supposed to be an adapter in the box which was lost before I got it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this going?
A Google image search for "white 59-pin video plug" yeilds this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMS-59
Yep, concur. We had them on nvidia cards on a series of HP machines at work. They came with the adapter that broke out to two dvi connectors that we used to dual head two monitors with.
Ditto. Watch out for that blanked off pin. I've seen some with that blanked off pin and some without. James
