1080 Ti recently installed has a noticeable slight sag after only a few days. The cards are undeniably heavy but I am constantly checking the bracket screws to be sure it's tight enough and always looking for incremental changes (muh OCD). Wondering if anyone has gotten no sag at all without support.

    Make a no sag bracket.. anything to hold the end up.. that's not metal and don't touch a fan at the right height will do.. even legos.

    I don't mind a little sag, but the PCB is bending and I am worried about long term. Just curious of others' experience with it on this card and if it gets noticeably worse over time with this gpu. Brackets or stands generally make it look ugly imo.

    If you get a minute, could you post a picture of it?
    I have been trying to find one for a few weeks now.

    In my older Rampage IV Gene, it did sag in the end of the card a little bit.
    Since I'm waiting for a new chassis, I don't know how it will go on my Asus Z370-G (reinforced PCI slot).

    Watch the jayz2cents video on fixing sag for  free. My 1080ti ftw3 hybrid sits perfectly level with no gpu bracket to support it in my Air 540.Rock solid.

    For me barely, but maybe it also depends on the case a little with how tight it fits:

    No professional photos, but it gives an indication.
    Also it's worth noting I'm using bitfenix alchemy cables which are more flexible and apply less weight/stress.

    zip tie to a drive slot hole or buy a bracket, they are cheap compared to a Mobo
     
    make sure the pressure isn't coming from your cables.

    Cooler master makes a gpu stand that I purchased which is adjustable, with a magnetic base, and is SLI ready. Amazon sells them for under15 dollars.
    Since I cannot post links. Just search for "cooler master video card stand"

    so the consensus seems to be a homemade bracket is probably just fine?
