Video card sagging is normal. You can get braces(or you can make your own) to help hold it up.

That is the closure I needed!

Remove the screws and push upwards on the card while installing the bottom screw, then the top screw.

It's fine, but if you really don't like it you can get a backplate for your card

That doesn't really work. My 660 Ti continued to sag after doing that.

My 780s don't sag when I use this method. I should say results will vary depending on the card.

Thought you would like to see this then. That, or use the fishing wire.
