That is very minor GPU sag; you should be absolutely fine.

There will be some sort of sagging these days, especially with GPUs now using such big, dense, multi-slot coolers.

Appreciate the reply, I moved from a GTX 1070 FE to this so even slight sag kinda freaked me out.

Have you properly screwed the card to the case and locked it all the way in goodie? you're likely to be perfectly okay.

 

If it bothers you a raiser is always welcome, but I think it would only serve as peace of mind at most.

Yea I screwed both of the screws all the way in while supporting the card with my other hand.
