What are the grey blocks labelled R22? I have a chipped one on a faulty graphics card, I'm wondering it is replaceable?

That sir is an international rectifier inductor and is part of the power stage. You can swap it over if you can find another card with one the same.

Thanks! Would a chip on one be likely to cause problems? I know the pic is a bit out of focus but it's the bottom left corner of the top one that's damaged.
 
Just a choke or inductor/coil.

Unless it’s physically damaged the copper inside a chip on the edge won’t make any difference as they are just ferrite (usually) surrounding a copper coil.

That's what I've read else where online too. Probably not a problem then as is fairly small and still just seeing ferrite under it.
