Damaged components on video card

Looks like a high current resistor to me. I guessed this from the R125 written on it and also the fact that it seems to be covered in a ceramic material which is sometimes used on high current resistors. If you are lucky the resistive material is still intact and will still do the job despite a small chunk if it's heatsink being broken off.
Just would like to reiterate that I think it's a resistor and that I don't know for sure.

This your card or one you're buying? If one you're buying, don't. That's physical damage right there, don't risk it.
If that was the case, it would be written 125R, thats R125. Indicating just a component code, or a 0.125 Ohm resistor (Which is very unlikely).
That's assuming of course that it follows conventions of resistor numbering.
Looking at the numbering on the PCB it seems to be component L12.
I've had a quick look at my old HD4890 and I have several components labelled as Lxxx and these are RAM chips and small copper coil arrangements.
On the naked HD6950 PCB there are a few objects similar to the chipped one in the OP with the Lxxx notation on PCB and Rxxx written on them. They don't seem to be Logic circuits as they have a straight though circuit.
Is that a small part of the material that has 'stuck' to the component next door as if by magnetism? Maybe they are some sort of ferrite filter.
