Is GPU sag something that slowly starts to happen more the longer the card is in the PCIe slot? I have a replacement 1080 Ti FTW3 in front of me as well as my 1080 Ti FTW3 and my card has way more sag than the replacement card.

    My understanding is that the cards heat causes the PCB to warp, especially at the PCIe power connectors where there is no support... I just read that if a brace is used, over time it can un-warp the PCB back straight again... 
     
    I am surprised no one sells braces in NZ! But I ordered one last night off Amazon to ship to NZ. Hopefully this will restore my card.
