[SOLVED] GPU Brace for 2080Ti

[gamer666]

I'm after a GPU brace for the 2080 TI gigabyte gaming OC

Any ideas on a GPU support that fits this card?

Hello.

Looks good but do you know if they support non-reference graphic cards or just reference or both?
It doesn't say on the listing.

I'm afraid I don't know. Bit too deep for me --- our graphics card experts might know if you can wait for further replies.

Okay, thank you.

Does anyone have experience with this manufacturer?

Are you also in search of a case? They make gpu support brackets built into them.

If you purchased the h500m it comes with one. Damn...so close. I'd return the P series for the M.

OR you could get a vertical gpu mount, which will alleviate the need for the support brace and might look better aesthetically.

That one looks great, I tried to get in Australia but i cannot get it. It will cost me three times the amount of the product just for shipping to Aus ($80.00 AUD). The only one i can find in Aus is the Deepcool GH-01 GPU Support. This support looks so ugly tho. perhaps I'm being to pedantic over this 😟, but it's the first time i got such an expensive GPU. I have a few more questions.

1. Is about 5mm of GPU sag only 3 months after buying GPU okay? will it damage anything?
2. If a GPU breaks under warranty due to sag is it covered?
3. Are vibrations from desk usage okay on the hardware? (can bump desk and see the end of GPU shake a little)

It sounds like you are really concerned about gpu sag. It doesn't look like something that would damage your internal components based on the picture. You could technically cut a piece of wood to size for support the gpu until you can either come up with the difference to purchase the gpu support brace or oder the h500m. If it bothered me that much, i'd return/sell that case for the better h500m model.

I got the UpHere GPU support.

Where is the safest/best location to put the support arm,
at the end of the card, at the pci-e power connectors?

As long as the brace keeps the graphics card from sagging and no fans are blocked, i'd choose the option that looks best for your case.
