I am still deciding whether or not I'll be getting the 3080ti when my notification pops (someday...), but I have seen many people mentioning how heavy the card is. So I have a few questions for those who have heavier cards (3080/3090s, etc.). What are you using the eliminate the sag of your card? Is is working well? What would you recommend?

There's gpu support that can be easily bought or 3D printed.... heck, you can throw in a funko pop figure if you want to be creative. The image of Atlas came to mind and I googled it and sure enough, they have an Atlas GPU support....lol

lol that's great. I was thinking of something similar - a support bar of some sort. Someone posted it in an older thread but I couldn't find it.

Have you thought about using a vertical mount? Cooler Master may have one as an option for your case.

In my case I'm not sure if it's because the pci-e slot is reinforced but my 3090 FE doesn't even look like it's sagging a bit. I used to have a sag bracket for my old 980 ti and subsequent 2080 super but those two noticeably drooped in the same system

exactly, mine looks pretty solid. Maybe a AIB thingy?

I don't like the idea of the vertical post style that just stay in place with a little pressure/weak magnet, plus the aesthetics just don't do it for me personally. I went with this one (just ordered so will provide an update once installed) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076GYL25H

I've never looked into these. I just looked on Cooler Master's website and they have a couple. Thanks for the idea.
