hey guys, i made my build a little over a month ago, and i was using a geforce gtx 970 but have bought a evga gtx 980ti sc+, at first it didn't sag but a few days has gone by and I think it minimally is sagging (not sure if its just me), I uploaded a pic, let me know what you guys think.

    You're golden.   Yeah, I know those cards look and feel heavy but it'll be okay.
     
    I've got two 980Ti's and before that 780Ti's and never worried about needed a brace.    Would it hurt to brace the card?  No.   But you really don't need one.

    DO you need one? No.

    Do they make them? Yes.. backplates IMO are more asthetically pleasing and help drop the temps roughly a max of 5c.

    If your honestly worried on it.. buy a backplate if they make one for you SKU.
