Remove all the cables, screws, and push down on the tab all the way first. Then just pull it out, might night feel smooth but just give it a little tug.

check the back of your computer case for any screws where the graphics card is, usually it is 2 small screws. Unscrew them and then on your motherboard where your graphics card in plugged into (the physical pci-e slot) there should be a plastic nob on the right hand side of it, push it down or to the right and after that just pull your graphica card out. It might be a little tougher than you think to pull out.

don´t pull with power or your PCIe slot will be damaged.
Which motherboard or pre-built system is it? Have a look in the manual of that, how ti remove a graphics card.
There are different holding mechanisms on motherboard like:

but all will hold the ledge in the most right corner of your card:

What if the space between my cooler and GPU mounted on PCI is a small gap.. I don't think I can get my hand down there to push the tab. What do I do? Need to RMA a 2070.
