Is this GPU sag?

I don’t think it is but my OCD doesn’t let me be. Would appreciate if you could let me know. I guess there might be a 2-3 millimeter slant but I’m not sure that classified as sag.


I tried measuring with the level on my iPhone and it said it’s straight but I’m not sure.

Looks fine to me. My RTX 2070 Super is at about the same angle.

Definitely looks normal.  Most if not all GPU's with beefy coolers will sag a little bit over time unless you have a antisag brace or similar.  Its not dangerous if thats what you are wondering.

is it sag? yup is it bad? no. if your concerned you could also angle the cables better so they "pull" it a bit more back up.
