If you break your RTX 5090 or $10,000 RTX Pro 6000 graphics card's modular PCIe bracket, don't despair! 💸

Uniko's Hardware discovered a number of Chinese outlets selling replacement PCIe connectors for RTX 5090 and RTX Pro 6000 graphics cards for just $25 each. On the Xianyu online marketplace, parts can be purchased individually or in bulk. The total number is likely to be limited, though, as these are parts salvaged from other RTX 5090 and Pro 6000 graphics cards. There is also no warranty or guarantee. Postage might set you back more than that depending on where you live (though some are shipping for free), but it's all worth saving a graphics card worth thousands of dollars.

It's good that anyone suffering similar issues will be able to fix the card themselves. Even if Nvidia has shown itself willing to help some owners in specific cases, that's likely to happen only for those that are well-publicized. As Tom's points out, Nvidia can always repair and resell the cards itself, but it's mostly focused on AI data center infrastructure development these days. That next few trillion dollars in valuation isn't going to fund itself. 😮‍💨
