Will downgrading my graphics card cause issues beyond just losing performance?

I currently have an RX 6700 XT, but unfortunately, I spilled some tea on it a few weeks ago, which I didn't notice until it was too late. After unplugging it and checking, it just wouldn't work anymore. To make matters worse, I plugged it back in to see if it would work again, but of course, it didn't. Now that I'm looking at the replacement prices, they're really high and I'm a bit strapped for cash. I need my PC running, so I'm considering getting a less powerful graphics card. My question is: will downgrading cause any issues aside from a drop in performance? Since I don't really play demanding games, I'm okay with a performance hit, but I want to be sure it won't lead to other problems. Any advice would be appreciated!
