Will it be ok? it was just a small drop from about 2 feet, the cover over it did snap off and I just clipped it back in. There are no moving parts except the fan so I am assuming it will be fine? I looked at it, everything looks and nothing looks damaged. I have not installed it in my computer yet

Thats a tricky question to anwser.

What i might be worried about would be if the PCB (printed circuit board) had taken damage. Something like the soldering on the chips.

Got RMA on the card? If yes, how long?

I know. But if the card became defective later on. Then it is valid for RMA.

The thing about this kind of damage is that the damage can maybe seen after days, but it can also last months/years before enything comes to show.
