I think you solved my problem I didn't really look at the pictures before and it seems like the second link you showed me is identical to mine and the same pins are missing as on mine thank you so much I thought it was broken phew, this means the pins are meant to be like that:D
 


It very well could be a problem. I don't remember exactly where the little contacts in the PCIe socket make contact. If it's low enough in the socket, that one won't make [good] contact and could be detrimental to the GPU. I would personally RMA it.
 


Well, you *could* try it and see if it works... It's also possible that the image with the missing pad was a faulty board and was still good enough for a photo-shoot... So... go ahead and try it. If it don't work, then do the RMA.
