Hi,I need to understand if my GTX 1650 SC ULTRA GAMING, 04G-P4-1057-KR[font="verdana; font-size: 14px"](purchased and installed about 17 months ago) is sagging. Maybe you can see a little bending on the right but i'm not sure. Even if it's an "enhanced" evga model i don't think it's an heavy card. My motherboard is AORUS H370 Gaming 3 Wi-fi.Should i take any measure about or will it be fine leave it as it is?
Here are some pics about, i hope they're enough clear to focus the question.



Sorry for these raw links but i can't find a way to share any media here.
 
Thank you very much

    All VGA cards sag slightly. If it is so little that you have to cock your head and eyeball it, I wouldn't worry about it. Your images didn't post. But from your description that it is hard to tell, I would not worry about it at all. What you might try is loosen the bracket screws, then gently hold up the right edge of the GPU a bit and retighten the bracket screws. But again, a bit of sag is normal. There's nothing but the slot holding up that edge of the GPU.

    Just so folks know what you're looking at

     
    About the only suggestion I would have is to make sure your power cables and not pulling down on the GPU.
    Other than that, looks pretty typical.

    Hi, thank you again.
    The pci-e cable is very loose: sure it's pulling down the card a little because of its own weight. Unfortunately my case (cooler master N300) is not so friendly about cable management (for example look at the CPU cable that i had to route through one of my cpu cooler fan). I didn't find a way to plug my gpu cable (e.g. dropping it off from the top of the card) except the situation you can see in my picture.
    Anyway i hope it couldn't damage my hw in the long term: i can consider to get a gpu stand, of course; but i would not it could sound exceeding (if not ridicolous) for a low-end card such mine.
