Yes, it should work. The issue is just with the mounting part, not the card itself.
It probably has damaged traces and things in that. There's a good chance it wont work properly.
Assuming the shown component is the only damaged part, it should function properly. There was a Scrapyard Wars episode where Luke removed that locking mechanism due to a capacitor on the motherboard. We don’t have information about the rest of the card. The safest approach is to perform an extended stress test or benchmark to confirm performance, stability, and temperature handling. Pictures aren’t sufficient.
EDIT: I might not have examined it closely enough, sorry. It seems the locking mechanism was fully integrated into the PCB, opening it completely. Definitely don’t be afraid of this device.
98.89% chance it wont work. I would just get a working card instead. Unless its very cheap. Can you see the card in action before buying? PCB looks like it's split in half. You can see the traces above. I once had a GPU where the crossfire connector broke off, that didn't work, eventhough it was only the connector.
