Do you have the tools and skills to solder such tiny components? I mean, those are capacitors and yes, they are easy enough to fix, but you still need good tools. Besides which, it looks like you ruined some of the traces, which is gonna be a lot harder thing to fix.

You broke a lot of surface mount components.

Ideally, you'd find an identical faulty video card (maybe one with bad ram or bad gpu due to overclocking or some other reasons) and harvest the parts from that card and solder them to yours.

 

And hope that when you stepped on the card, you didn't cause micro-cracks in other components or under some bigger chips, faults you can't see with your eyes, just by looking at the board.

OP probably has the dual PCB variant.

While the GTX295 is an incredibly cool card, it really doesn't make sense to attempt to fix it unless you are very skilled with a soldering iron. Even then there's no guarantee that it will ever work again, and it's not exactly a relevant card anymore.
