Question Should I be concerned about broken GPU latch?

[McCreamMaster]

When I was pulling my GPU out, the latch on the motherboard broken off. The GPU is the Gigabyte RTX 2070. I just want to know if it will be ok or if I will have to replace it.

as long as the video card is aligned properly and seated well after you tighten the bracket screws, you should be ok.

here is a link to a similar problem.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it either. I break one of mine every once in a while due to an occasional case of hot dog fingers. As woot notes, if the bracket is properly attached to the case, that GPU's going nowhere, latch or no latch.
