Hello, recently i checked my 9800gt and one of the fan's blades just fell off, i'm here asking how longer can i rock with it before it goes completely to <Mod Edit> and also if using a GPU with a broken fan blade can cause any damage to the GPU, Its the model in the picture if it is of any use

Until it stops completely, overheats and dies.
Broken fan blade is going to make it extremely noisy till then.

The single missing blade wont hurt the performance very much given there are 11 blades. But the unbalanced weight of the fan will cause extra friction in the bearings and cause the fan to spin slower. The bearings will eventually wear out and fail and the fan will stop spinning.
