Hello,

my 8800 GT died the other day and I have a HD 5770 arriving today. I tried to remove the nVidia card but it seems to be more difficult than with cards I've removed in the past. I'd like to avoid brute force, heh.

I looked online to see if there's some kind of trick to this one or any instructions in general but couldn't find anything. So, here I am, asking the all-knowing MacRumors community for help.

Thanks. :)
 
No parts in a computer require brute force to be removed (well except for the old Molex power plugs :rolleyes:).

Please don't try to rip it out without ensuring that you released the little clip that fixes the card in the slot (a the left end of the slot).
