it is the gray/brown thing under the gpu at the end of the slot, just under the wifi card you have there

looks like a slide to release, not push to release, try to move not form the top in the angle of the picture, but from the bottom of the gpu, you might find easier to do this way

i thought to it was the brown thing but the brown thing is connected to the gpu and cant move like at all its just plastik
i also cant really get my fingers down there without hitting the cpu cooler

try to take a picture from the other side, bottom of the gpu, not top, you might see more and understand how to push it

Are you certain that there IS a lock?
If you try to remove the card, does it get resistance anywhere?
It looks to me like there is no lock on the motherboard.

yes i have put so much force in the motherboard started bending but i stopped thinking there must be a lock so not only am i scared that i might have fucked up the motherboard but also the gpu :C

the other photos doesn't show any lock, no, you don't have a lock

if you removed the two screws on the metallic shield of the gpu on the back of the case or if the case has a single big screw locking all expansion cards and you have removed it

the movement should be softly pull from the side where the monitor connectors to the back, but softly, if you can't do it and you are scared, well, let it in place

try to find some videos to understand how to remove, reassemble it just to discard a problem but a mainboard can be bent alot so i wouldn't worry unless you heard a "crack"

didnt hear a crack but i ordered a kabnet motherboard and power supply so i need the gpu out of the machine
i have succesfuly removed the part with the monitor connections and almost lifted it out but the last 5 pci pins holding the the card in place
