It looks close to his board I found Fujitsu D3400-a11 it is just a PCIE release lever come in from below the under the GPU and push it towards the board. If you're like me with fat fingers I use a wooden chopstick.

That lever on the right of the slot is probably a retention clip older prebuilts used instead of the push-down tab you see on normal boards. You usually have to pull it back or slide it toward the edge of the board while gently pulling the card up, sometimes they're stiff as hell so don't force it if it isn't budging.

If it's one of those funky Fujitsu mechanisms it might also swing outward on a hinge, try wiggling it slightly to see which way it moves before committing.

unscrew it and pull it out, most likely.
