Hello! I need some help, I have an AMD PowerColor TurboDuo Radeon R9 270X 2gb GDDR5 graphics card. Recently, I was cleaning it and I noticed that there was 2 golden PCI-E pins that were partially there. I looked closely at the pins with a headlamp and a magnifying glass, the cut looked pretty clean, so I'm not sure if this was here before, or I accidentally ripped them off while I was doing something with it. Here's a picture of what it looks like. Please tell me if this is normal or bad. Thank you!

There men`t to be there, or should i say cut off like you see them.

Some times it is done to relate to how wide the memory bus is of the graphics card.
Extra ground or earth point of the finger board.

Or for Pci-e lane switching modes Ie: x16 to x 8 Pci-e slot modes.

It is completely normal to have a few half length contacts on the pci-e finger board of a graphics card.

Thank you for pointing and correcting me out there, I didn't research more about the mem bus and finger board.

Thanks Shawn o! I feel that this was the best solution because I looked at pictures online of the same graphics card that I have, and pins are partially missing. So thank you again for supporting me, my computer is working and as well as the question answered. :)
