Hello!

So yesterday i went to check if my R9 270x vapor-x had a HDMI female port (Duh) and then i noticed that the back metal plate of my gpu was kind of twisted, i don't know how it happened, when my new gpu arrived one week ago everything was alright, and i don't have the warranty of the card. can i fix this with a plier or something? or what can i do? I'll post a picture of the back plate.I'm not a native english speaker, that's why my grammar's not so good and you probably wont understand me.

Any help if appreciated!

Yes you can try to carefully bend it back with a pair of pliers, but my advice is to just leave it since it won't affect the functionality of the GPU. Also, when you install the GPU in your case, be careful not to over-tighten the screws. As long as it's snug then it's good.

But will it fit without any problems like any other normal GPU? If that's it then i guess everything's alright
