pretty average tbh. if you are worried about it bracket up but as long as you aren't tossing the machine around this isn't too bad.

Don't worry, it's less worse than the STRIX version.

It's so heavy that it basically slides halfway out of the PCIe slot if I leave it hanging without PCIe bracket screws.

Pretty sure it will totally slide out of PCIe slot if there is no PCIe lock.

 

If you are that concerned, just get a GPU stand
Or tie a guitar string or something from the GPU to the top of your case.

With enough time, a beefy enough GPU will enter that stage.
Even my old MSI GTX660 Gaming is somewhat not straight after some years.

IMHO, from what I've seen in the pic, yours is still in okay zone.

Like I said, if you are concerned, you can get GPU stand.
There is cheap ones of those out there.

based on what @Poinkachu has written, you might even be already buying a new PC/GPU before the sagging can ever become a problem

JayzTwoCents has a few good videos on fixing GPU sag.

Just find a suitable figurine or toy and stick it under the corner of that GPU to hold it level. Use double sided tape to stick the figurine in place if you want (optional).
