Cards got a sag to it, would it hurt at all to put zip ties through the 2 screw holes on the end and chain it to the top of the case?

But first, let's talk about parallel universes.

no need to ziptie it, the card wont take damage by sagging a little.

please dont use zip ties... if you want your card to be nice and straight, use something that looks good.

if the gpu's weight would break it, it wouldnt get trough testing.

 

the saggyness is just beauty factor, and *maybe* an issue in transport.

and i said "use something that looks good" i didnt say "dont do anything at all"

theres plenty of options here that'd actually be aesthetically pleasing, and probably would provide better support than zip ties.

It all depends on the situation. In my build my 980Ti HOF sags a good bit and I used a zip tie to hold the end up so its level and you don't even notice it.
