How to beat card sag?

Get your card to pop a V. :D

But like others said, cheapest thing to do is to make some kind of brace to connect to the end of the card.

Wow between the CPU cooler and the humongous GPU above you hardly get to see the motheboard...!

Not that it is important to see the board but heck that Zotac card is huge. I would never get access to my SATA slots with that thing fitted. I had considered the Zotac but the size and warranty conditions put me off.

IIRC I just used to use a cut down to size pencil and bluetak. With the backplate on my GTX980 and positioned the two power cables to feed from above there is very little sag. I did find that feeding the additional power cables from the bottom pulled on the card.

Current MSI boards have extra heavy soldered connections on their pci slots for this reason. Currently have a HOF 8 pack gtx980ti in mine and there is no sag present.
