Is this video card broken?
In the middle of my first build - waiting on a replacement motherboard for the one that was dead out of the box.
As I was reviewing the rest of the components, I saw what looks to be a missing pin on the Nvidia Geoforce video card. This is the first video card I've ever installed - is this normal, or is the last "pin" on the card broken? Thanks in advance for any help. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2.../nvidia008.jpg {Image converted to link for our dialup users - Mod} Last edited by freakitchen; 01-27-2008 at 07:56 PM. |

And what nVidia Geforce card do you have ?
That way you can check out a photo on the web and answer your question.

Does it look like the pin was ripped off, some expansion cards do not use all the pins. This video card may have left that pin out because it didn't need it.
