Damaged GPU pins?

So I bought an RTX 2070 Super used and when I received it I noticed the pins looked damaged. I went ahead and plugged it in anyway and everything seems to run fine. No crashing in a stress test. No issues that I can notice, at least right now. My question is could this become a problem? Or am I possibly missing out on some performance because of this? I'll attach a few pictures showing the issue.

tbh I don't really see anything that looks damaged, you should be fine.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Are you talking about this (pics) if yes than you should be fine if actual pins are not damaged, it looks like just a bit of pcb is scratch, not sure how that may happen btw

Shouldn't be a problem. The signal is passed through the golden contacts on the side of the slot.

 

There won't be a drop in performance, it's a part of the card that would either work, or it wouldn't. There's not really an inbetween.
