Broken 6800 GT Capacitor

[Sw1pe]

Hi. I have a problem with my video card. I am not sure that that broken thing is a capacitor.
Here some pictures of that:

Is it possible to fix it?
Buy a new capacitor?

your card should be fine... its not like the capacitator or what ever that is (mabey a choke) is broken its just NOT THERE... and most gfx card have this ... companies leave out parts cus they simply arnt needed.. you will be fine.

Thx. Ok in few coming days i try to test it (i can test it now because i waiting for delivery of my new CPU )
If something wrong with vga card i will post here.

Isnt that a MOSFET?

Isnt that a MOSFET?

I was about to mention that...correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those critical to keeping voltage stable and clean?

You've lost one of the three Vcore phase series inductors and that is a major problem. The
6800 uses a 3 phase Vcore power supply and yours now only has a two phase Vcore PS.

The card will probably do 2D just fine as the GPU current draw in low. Loaded up in 3D is
another matter. You will either artifact like crazy and/or the Vcore PS will shutdown on
phase overcurrent and/or take out the remaining Vcore PS phases from over heating due
to high current flow through the remaining two phases.

I have a parts card here I can pull a replacement from.

Sw1pe, Viperjohn does excellent work, So if you want to save the card you now have an option.
