    Hard to tell in that picture, almost looks like those are broken in half or flat out gone.

    Check your local Walmart…..

    I sold my RTX 4090 on ebay which basically paid for the 5090 FE, $130 upgrade. Since the 5090's are going for over $3500 on ebay, you can sell a 4090 for $2200-$2500 easy. Sold mine in 4 minutes for $2300.
