Graphics card sagging

[asim1999]

a few questions on it:

1) will sagging affect the PCI slot?

2) will it affect the card?

3) will a backplate help with sagging?

4) how long until a GPU sags?

5) how long until my reference 980 sags?

5) how long until my reference 980 sags?

1) only in extreme cases

2) same

3)yes

4)if it doesn't sag when you put it in, it won't in the future

5)probably never, since it has the reference cooler which isn't very heavy and it comes with an albeit thin backplate

The reference 980 has a backplate and that really helps in heavy GPU's.
