Greetings DAPurcey,
Thanks for your question.
You can use a DVI splitter cable. These cables only provide the ability to display the exact same image on each monitor. If your 2 monitors have DVI only and if you want independent management of the displays, you'll have to use the HDMI port on your card, with a HDMI to DVI adapter.

There is no such thing as a DVI Splitter Cable. DMS 59 LFH cables are Dual DVI. DELL H9361 DMS59 to DUAL DVI.
DVI and Display port need a Hub to have more than 1 output from a single DVI.
The same is true for USB and ETHERNET no Splitter.
Only Analog Audio and VGA Video can use a Splitter. Dell does have a cable wu239 that will take DVI - I (DUAL LINK) and split into 1 DVI - D and 1 VGA.
