I accidentally broke off something from my graphics card while trying to put a new cooler on it.

Here's what it looks like. It's towards the top middle

I don't know what it is but on the other side of the board where the accident occurred there is a transistor component it seems. I'm wondering if there's a chance it'll still work or if I'll have to have it fixed?
This is an evga gtx 760 4gb edition btw
Thanks.

Its a small capacitor. It may or may not work correctly without it.
If it does, chances are it will be less stable.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix if you can find out the proper value

No, it will not work properly without it. Generally, parts are soldered on because they are needed. Try getting it professionally (read competently resolderd on. And it may be direction sensitive (polarity). Even after the repair, it's only 50/50 chance to be functional again.
