Question sag

[nafi7]

I have a Gigabyte rtx 3070 gaming oc and mobo is msi b450m tomahawk max

Do I need a gpu bracket?

Do you see the card sagging?

Depending on your able management and the length of cables you might have from the PSU, you could use that to prop the GPUup, somewhat, but I'd look into a GPU support bracket for that GPU only and only if the card's sagging to a level you're not comfortable with.

What is your case, and what is the orientation of your graphics card.
In a traditional case, yes a heavy card can sag.
If you think that might be a problem, there are brackets to adress the issue.
Normally if theoutput end is well tightened to the case, there will not be much of an issue. So long as the pc is not regularly moved.

I installed the card 10-12 days ago and it's a used card. I can't tell for sure if its sagging.

These photos might give you a hint. My case is off brand. I will be moving to another district next month and will remove the gpu before travelling.

I installed the card some 12-14 days ago. I hope you can see the state of the card in the photos
