    A used graphics card which I've just bought seems to work ok but I noticed it has some slight damage to one of the electronic components:

    It's the component on the top edge of the image below, to the left of the power connectors:

    To me it doesn't look like the damage will affect the component at all but I'm certainly no electronics expert. Does anyone with electronics experience know whether it's likely to cause any problems? Cheers.

    shouldn't be to much of a concern, as I believe that is just a plastic part

    I would say the same as above, its just a bit of plastic that sits their doing nothing
    if the card is working I wouldn't worry about it.
