    I have MSI NX8600GT.
    One small part is separated from the card.
    It's small silver colored cylindrical thing.
    "70 100 EZA" is written on the top.
    Anyway, card is working well right now.
    I'm out of country, so I cannot get service from MSI.
    I just want to know that how critical this problem is?
    If it's not serious then I want to use just as is.

    Thanks

    Sean

    It is a capacitor, it will be giving the gpu or the gpu's memory a good constant voltage. While your card may function ok without it you may find problems while playing games - if so they are dead easy to replace just find someone who can solder :)
