GPU anti-sag Bracket

[hehyna]

Hello,

Please can anyone advise if I should consider a GPU support bracket for this card?

Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Infinity 3 SFF 12GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card​

yes, most definitely. i would consider a bracket/stand necessary for long cards like these

Something to consider for sure but not as urgent as to delay installing the card while you wait for one.

Just be careful during installation and moving your case in the meantime.

Some motherboards have reinforced pcie slots so it's less of a concern but still good to have some support in the long term.

Thanks all, looking forward to building

A 2 slot <300mm card isn't particularly large but it never hurts to use one. The danger is with heavy 3-4 slot cards.

Doesn't anyone do it with a bit of dowel painted black anymore?

Depending on what you do or do not already own, many cases come with one, they have for a few years, if your case is older than 3 or 4 years though it may not and also some cards come with one aswell, my Zotac 4080 Super did.

If you know someone with a 3d printer they can make one pretty quickly.

I go with the "happen to have a random thing that is the right size" way. With my 9070 XT last year it happened to be half of the plastic case my glasses were delivered in.

I wouldnt get a bracket, id get a 9070XT for 579quid instead.
