So basically I was going through a drawer and it shook my shelf that's on top of my little cabinet and it caused my GTX 1070 to fall. This happened to the PCIE and I wanna know if it will still work or if it's fucked and I just lost my shit.
I'm pretty fucking pissed off rn, if I'm honest.

Doesn’t look like any of the pins were damaged, so you might get lucky.
That said, don’t test it with all that shit dangling off it. Smooth it down GENTLY first.
This is unbelievable lucky but also equally unlucky. You just damaged the guide board. If you can clean it up you might be okay
Get a nail file. Its not like you could make it worse at this point
Now when you say “its shelf” does that mean that you were using it as part of the room’s decor?
I would also fill the hole with epoxy after you’ve filed it. Looks like you can see the ends of the pins at the center of the PCB from the edge.
GPUs go in computers not on shelves.
It’s fine…
You could probably glide a razor blade on the edge to trim off any high ridges. That’s what I would probably do to clean it up.
Like what everyone else has said, pins look good so it will probably be fine. Just needs a little clean up.
IT’s mint if you squint. I don’t see any cracks in the FR4. smooth it down with a nail file or something. It might be a bit harder on the PCIe slot if you can’t get the bevel back though.
Pin seems intacted so it should work and you can apply a little bit of uv glue. When it’ll be hardened gently file it down.
