Quick question about NVIDIA Geforce 210 connectors?

Hi, my PCS computer has an NVIDIA Geforce 210 PCI express graphics card. For reasons I won't go into I need to run a different digital signal to two monitors. Both monitors have a DVI input. One is connected to the graphics card via via DVI cable already. To connect the other, I got a DVI to Displayport cable since the spec on the NVIDIA website says the three sockets are VGI, DVI and Displayport. And photos on the web of the Geoforce 210 all show it to have a Displayport socket.

But I can't plug the Displayport plug into the back of the graphics card, and looking at it the socket looks like it has two bevelled corners, unlike the Displayport plug which has one bevelled corner. Have I got some unusual varient of the 210? What sort of socket does my graphics card actually have? If it turns out to be an HDMI, can you get HDMI to Displayport adaptors? Thanks!

It's almost certain it's an hdmi port & not a display port.
You would be better buying an hdmi to dvi cable as a dp to hdmi adaptor would probably cost more.
