By percentage

Can't find a good source on this

ik most of it would be silicon

Far from it. Silicon is just used to make the circuitry of each individual GPU. That's just a tiny part of the entire product as you define it (a "graphics card").

I thought the board itself is silicon then the circuits are metal.

If not then what the hell is the board made out of

Percentage wise by volume would probably be the heatsink (copper, aluminum) ie. the cheap stuff

The board itself is just a bunch of compressed fibers with inlaid copper traces for the circuits

You're talking about the PCB (printed circuit board)

GPU-s are made out of bitcone.
When you mining, you extracting their internal bitcone. That's why price goes down after mining.

Etherium, it's the reason why it's used to mining it
