Some strix cards i own in the past have a right angled piece of Metal from the io cover to the pcb so they cant bend in this area @ CoMa666: you have gpu sag also? I mean it doesnt matter i have to Deal with that till i get my ftw3 via stepup. Waiting for over 4 weeks now 😅

hi man, no my problem is the little bend near the i/o near the case, this can make bad contact with vrm pads like u can see in the pictures i posted, the problem is this is not fixable.
It's needed 2 more screws like in the pics i posted 

Anyway OP i see you have the sane too. Just see my pics and the left of yours?!! Like i said, with two another screw the backplate Will be much more flat. And in my opinion if you lose contact by pad and vrm( the First ones from left) you can problems like the Red lights someone had. Just let's wait what jacob can Say about it

The problem Is the pad on the First vrms from left.
If the bend Will make less contact, it's sure at 100% It Will broker. If you see images i posted you can see how with other 2 screws the problem can be repaired... I'm waiting a true answer by evga.

Generally you put the support bracket on the other end of the card.

@CoMa666 I'm in the same situation as you. I have the same board, the same problem. Anyway, I appreciate the solution you applied.
Design, look, thermal implementation, power, etc. are like being made on a ship, where I think EVGA has the design department right now. 'Good job' EVGA.
Sad but true, almost any graphics card manufacturers from China > EVGA right now (I mean strictly this new RTX 3000 series).
Sorry for my English.

It is going well so far but you can be sure that it will go well in the long run?
However, the pressure exerted by the bracket is only on one side (where the bracket is already placed by you) while on the other side close to the motherboard (where the bracket does not exist) the problem still exists because there is no pressure from the bracket.
