I was wondering if anyone has bought anything to fight the sag of this MASSIVE GPU. I'm a little worried that all the weight over time will break the PCI 4.0 slot. Has anyone with the GPU fixed this issue? I've tried buying upHere Graphics Card GPU Brace Support, but the card is to thiccccc it ends up lining right up with the fans instead of on the outer side. These things are getting to the point where I really think manufactures should consider including some kind of bracket to hold these bad boys.

    There's a whole host of support brackets you can buy off Amazon:

    You can also get creative and have something hold up your GPU like a toy or figurine.

    Is it that bad without any support? I've seen people having  without anything and it looks straight. That metal backplate should keep the card sturdy.
     
     
     
    On the other hand this is sag:
    I've had MSI long ago and man, that sucker sagged, this on the picture is not mine

    I don't know why, but those 8 pin wires are making me feel sick for some reason. Have you considered getting cable combs for them?

    I picked up the sag bracket from Lian Li.  It works perfectly and you'll never see it.  I bought it at Micro Center for $8
