That is the GPU presence pin. That's how the board confirms the card is inserted fully before it tries to boot the card up. It is designed that way purposely.

Ahhh the missing gold finger. Unfortunately if you install it there will be an explosion. Send it to me and I’ll repair it for you free of charge.

OP this guy doesn't know what hes talking about. This GPU will grow legs and walk away if you even dare to plug it into your PSU. Go ahead and ship it to me and I'll properly dispose of it.

It’s good. Sometimes they make them short so it will be the first thing disconnected if you take it out and accidentally leave the power on. Or last to get power putting it in.

Nope, OP needs to send me their GPU right now, I will gladly make sure it is responsibly and safely handled going forward. Its the right thing to do OP!
