Well if you did insert it straight and it did lock in, when you later turn your case upwards again and it lean a bit because of the weight...that is normal to a limit.

 

You maybe should get something supportive later on if it leans too much, maybe a picture of the card and how much it sag would help?

Hello,

Just installed my new GTX 970 Strix from Asus and I noticed that the card is slightly tilted (around 5-10°) to the of the front case (due to the weight, I know). Can someone tell me if I should be concerned and if it's a problem.

Thank you in advance!

GPU sag is normal. 

 

My GTX 670 sags and it's been like that ever since I got it...

Sorry, it took me so long to take out my PC and make this picture. I am just a very big procrastinator. :D

Now that I look at it, I see that it isn't really that bad, but I still want to know if it's OK. Also, you could tell me if my cable managing skills suck as much as I think.

 

Thank you for your help!

It's fairly decent, but the power connector to the GPU can be rerouted better. You are not limiting the airflow anyway though. My 280x sags more than your 970 and it's perfectly fine, so don't worry about it.
