MSI gtx 1080ti gaming X sag?

[NawzadH]

Hi, I am thinking of getting a 1080ti from MSI and I have the Gigabyte z97x-gaming 3 and I'm wondering if it will maybe sag or should it be fine?

I currently have the MSI 980 gaming 4g and it doesn't sag at all so should I be fine?

Did you compare the dimensions and weight? They make stands for GPU sag.

The 980 is 780g and the 1080ti is 1270g so I'm not sure if it will sag or not with that motherboard

I just read some Q/A on newegg about the card and sagging. There were two answers stating that it didn't. However keep in mind some motherboards have reinforced metal on the PCI-E slot itself to help with sag.

Where can I check if mine are reinforced?

Also thanks for the replies

It looks like your pci-e slots are just plastic. I wouldn't let sag hold you back from purchasing the card. If anything you can make something to support the card. The bigger question is, what resolution is your monitor and what power supply do you have? If it's 1080p, that card will be way overkill for your system.

I have 1080p but I'm getting a 1440p for 144hz playing aswell. If there is sag what should I do?

Make sure brackets are screwed in tightly. If the card sags only a little bit, that is reasonable. But I don't think it will because it's not as big as Gigabytes. You can get a GPU stand for it if all else fails, or make one.

Alright sounds good, thank you for the help
