Those are capacitors for the PCIe connection. The lanes that are missing the capacitors will probably no longer function properly, but it seems like the remaining lanes are sufficient to run the card.

English is not my first language, so please excuse any confusion or misunderstandings on my end.

I like to edit my posts a lot.

Those are capacitors.

Considering the placement of the capacitors, the connection is now broken, and those lanes that are connected may not work anymore. How does the card appear in GPU-Z?

How many lanes show up in GPU-Z?
