Need Help Identifying Capacitor

Hi I bought a broken 7990 off eBay as it was cheap and i enjoy trying to fix things, as the unit is brand new I couldn't let it go (no idea why the seller couldn't RMA it)

Anyway when it arrived I had a good look at it and it seems one of the smd capacitors has been knocked off the back of the GPU. I am having great difficulty identifying the correct capacitor as I don't have it to test it.

I have removed one of the other capacitors within the area and tested that which is 20uf but I don't know the correct voltage for it. I was hoping as you guys seem to be pulling your PC's apart like me you may have a broken one that you could test or know of a place that has circuit diagram etc. Any help would be appreciated. If nobody can help I will order what I think will work and post back results in case somebody else has this problem.
Here are some pictures :)

thanks for the replies guys, yes you have to remove them from the circuit to get a true reading so i have done so and then soldered it back into place. I was hoping they would use the same ones as that is what i have coming in the post. If it doesn't work im not too bothered as I needed a new cooler for another card and for £50 it solves that issue :) the capacitors are arriving tomorrow so I will give it a shot
