Will there be a 3-slot bracket available to provide better support to the 2.75 slot FTW3 cards?

    Huh...I didn't even notice that it was a 2-slot bracket.  My 2070 Super XC Ultra is 2.75 but is a 3 bracket design.  Interesting design choice.  I'm assuming that's why they include the sag bracket to assist in that problem.  Would still prefer the 3 bracket design as you suggest though.

    No 3 slot bracket, the card is still supported well with a 2 slot.

    Jacob, can someone do a video of how to use the included metal anti-sag bracket and throw it up on youtube? I searched and didn't find much information and I found one picture with it bolted onto the card but does this bolt to some case accessory to provide support? I see there are two threaded holes.

    It depends on the chassis, most do not support it only a few select.

    Hmm.. Ok, was thinking if you put them in every box you would have expected more people to use them or that there might have been an accessory we could buy to use it to hold it up. Thanks for the response.

    What is the benefit of a 2 slot bracket vs a 3 slot?

    Does this bracket fit onto the Mobo or somewhere on the case? I have a Lian Li Dyanmic XL. I'm interested in using it.

    Mount included bracket to the GPU
     
    If your case does not supply the needed hardware / attachment point ... you will need to make your own bracket/ attachment point
