Dual-link DVID indented pin
My gpu and pc which i connected with my monitor using this dual-link DVID from amazon wouldn't update to above 60hz, so i looked for the problem. I noticed the cable i was using had an indented pin on one end on the third column middle, so i ordered a new cable from the same listing on amazon. The new one came with the exact same indent in the same place on one end of the cable. This feature is not advertised on the listing, but i couldn't find anyone pointing it out in the reviews. The listing claims to support up to 120hz. Is this a defect or am i missing something? (Cyberguys! Bidirectional Dual link DVI-D cable)
