You received your new card with minor wear at the end after replacing the power cable. It’s unclear if this can be repaired—check with the retailer or manufacturer for confirmation.

The section of the PCB is just the PCB material itself, with nothing inside to harm.

The section that is 'damaged' has no power flowing through it, so if you manage to fit it into your motherboard, it should be fine. Don't worry about it.

Hi everyone, the card was brand new—though I might have been a little eager to install it when it arrived. Thanks for your prompt replies!
