you might be able to go back to the manufacturer and get a fan for it.

or buy a custom fan, like the arctic silencers, or a zalman card cooler. or a small vantec cooler... or something?
what card is it, it might not be worth spending money on.

that fan is probaly toast. one nifty idea is if there is an empty slot open next to it, buy one of those slim pci slot fans and put it in. something like this:

that will only extract air away from it. look out for 3rd party gpu fans, it shouldn't take much looking on google to find one that'll work
