Problem with Graphics card sagging solution

Lol, what video, didn't see any!?
 
never had sagging issues for my GPU... this sagging problem comes from really heavy air coolers most aftermarket cards come with...

Easy fix don't buy a case where your GPU doesn't hang vertical like Silverstones RV01/2/3 or similar no sag no worries
 
Don't have a problem here, MSI GTX1070 with backplate, fastened with 2 thumbscrews, sits tight and straight.
 
VaporX 290 by Sapphire in a xpredator using the lock system on the pci slots, doesn't sag. Rest assured my card is bigger and heavier than ops
 
All natural bamboo solution. :)

Did the trick pretty damn well. Used a rear case bracket to prop up the bottom card.

You'd think that after many years of sagging graphics cards, the manufacturers would just throw a complimentary plastic piece in with the card.

That's like...a couple cents my dood, it'll cut into their profit margins!

I'm pretty sure my LCS weighed more than my keyboard does
