Hello everyone,

I was told and verified by reading that the DisplayPort on my Graphics Card takes two Monitors on a single port. However, I can't seem to find a cable for this. I have searched NewEgg and Amazon. The problem is I am not even sure what I am looking for. I need dual monitors.

I am picturing a single head that goes into my computer with two DisplayPort coming out. At this point I do not know what I need, how can I even find what I do not know? :) 

Can someone please post a link or what is it that I need?


Here is my graphics card:

EVGA 03G-P4-3668-KR GeForce GTX 660 Ti FTW+ 3GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video.

How would you recommend I hook up dual monitors on this card? What I mean is, should I just go with DVI?

My monitors have DVI and DisplayPorts, no HDMI.

Thanks Everyone!

From what I understand of this, its not that the cable splits in half. It plugs into a monitor, then another Displayport go's off the monitor and daisy-chains another monitor in.
Though it would just be better to use a Displayport and a DVI port, just for simplicity's sake I think. Could even use a HDMI-DVI adapter if that somehow isnt possible.
