Used GPU didn't come with bracket what do I do?

[moonedyou]

I bought a used gtx 770 for only 50$, but it didn't come with the bracket that screws onto the case (picture included), so theres absolutely no support putting my pci-e slot at risk for breaking. What should I do to fix this? I'm not looking to spend any money fixing this.

Was it advertised that way?

duct tape and zip ties?

Yeah it was, I bought it thinking maybe I can Jerry rig something. Would like some ideas on how or if anyone has done it before.

See if you can buy a replacement.

I have an identical one that's for my EVGA GTX 650 Ti Boost, so if you search up brackets with those ports/that card, you might be able to find one.

Duct tape might melt, so no.

I'd rather not spend any money fixing it, since I bought it for so cheap anyways.

What chassis are you using?

Well if you didn't spend that much, then you can afford a replacement bracket.

Also, see if it works.
How much did it cost you?

It does work it's been tested and it says in the description I paid 50$ for it.

So if you paid $50, why not spend $15 on a replacement bracket?
Here's one:

You could maybe remove one of the screws from the backplate, and use that hole to tie a zip-tie to one of the PCIe slot covers on the case.**
