GPU anti sag bracket?

[CuriousTomCat]

Is there a single case yet of a card breaking due to the weight/sag? Or do we all just not like the way it looks?

Well I certainly wouldn't buy a used GPU that was badly warped. So it's guaranteed to devalue it.

Bought an Uphere support so the world is good.

As for sagging problem - not sure my MBA would do it (thick backplate) but its a hefty weight!

Also GN had a video about gpu sag and what can happen.

I have one that's basically the same as that and it works just fine. The ones which need to be screwed into a PCIe slot bracket and such just seem to be overcomplicating things for no reason. Mine came free with a Gigabyte card, but they don't cost much.

This is a problem created by tower cases, just go back to installing the motherboard horizontally and problem solved

Come on dude, can't have stuff lasting.

I'm starting to see the attraction to vertical mounts. A GPU can't sag vertically.

Wasn't there a Silverstone case like that back then? Exhausting out the top with a plastic cage to hide the cables...

It's also worth noting the pole unscrews and the base is magnetic.
(The only thing I might do is shorten it down).
