Is gpu sag an issue here?

[Christrix]

Hi! 
SO I just got a Gigabyte Aorus master rtx 3070ti and wondering if you'd recommend a gpu support bracket? 

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: Sorry, just noticed the pic is at an angle, which may not help.

Yes for beefy as that card that is now supported by a plastic slot and 2 screws 100% recommend getting a Support bracket

Yes. The gigabyte cards need one. Their pcb likes to crack just in front of the locking ear.

This holding stick might be good - https://global.deepcool.com/products/Accessories/graphiccardaccessories/2021/13758.shtml

I've got one, bought used, but I can't use it for reasons one or another.

Hi tech stick is a good stick still.

Sure, the sag does not show much dangers if the card is like that day or two.

DIY would be a non-high-tech stick for the right height I think.

Yes. and I prefer the sticks holding GPUs up than the "brackets" that sag a little themselves.

Now that I'm not on mobile and it's easier to find and post pictures, here's where they crack. 

Gigabyte is also doing what ever they can to not warranty these units as well.
