Yea this is normal (also have an empty screwhole shape on my twin frozr 7950) but if you want to minimize the sag you can use your PCI-E cables to support it like this: http://imgur.com/dwonqzG

My Zotac GTX 780 Amp seems to be hanging down on the front right corner. Not that dramatically but if you look at it from the front you can clearly see it. It also seems that there is a screwhole without a screw in it in that corner. Should Is it normal like that because it doesnt seem to impact the performance of the card.

I once had one of these, now I've got this.

Just do what I did. Yes, not even used and it had some sag. And it is relying on a fan to keep it up.
