So I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem! I have a Asus 970 Strix connected to a MSI Gaming 7 Z97 motherboard all in a NZXT H440 case. As you can see their is some GPU Sag but it is a lot more notable in person. I'm not sure if this card sags anyways or if the motherboard pci lanes are lined up with the slots on the case because it seem when I screw in the card it causes it to sag.post-13317-0-54849900-1424408051_thumb.j

It can happen to heavy GPU's, I have an gtx 770 that sags about the same amount.

There will always be sag with a graphics card that has a beefy cooler on it.

Do you have same motherboard with case?

No. Same gpu, with in an air 540 on a Gigabyte mATX z97 board.

 

Like I said, it could be sagging and I just don't notice it. I'm used to my old evga gtx 660 and that was fairly hefty as well.

That's pretty normal, especially for a non-reference design.

I've been trying to think up a design for a custom bracket to support heavier GCs without looking awkward or crappy.

why do people always have pictures of gpu sag sideways like this...

 

anyways, they make things for gpus that hold it up a little to reduce sag, though I find that they just look ugly.

 

My 970 g1 gaming has slight GPU sag, though I hardly even notice it.

That's not even major sag, just wait until you get a Windforce, Tri-X, etc :P
