The graphics card itself has a backplate (otherwise you wouldn't be able to plug your monitor into it ) and what's this little padded corner bit at the top? What's it supposed to pad against?

The manual doesn't say, of course

Any ideas?
This holds the SLI riser card (the bit of board that connects the 2 SLI Graphics Cards) in place
