Hey everyone, I recently got myself an RTX 4070, which was a big investment for me (about 750 euros in 2023). I've been worried about its condition because I really can't afford to replace it with something like an RTX 3060. So, I've noticed that the front side of the GPU is sagging downwards, but not the sides, which looks different from what I've seen in typical sagging examples online. Is this front sagging worse than usual GPU sagging? Is it harmful to the card? I mean, the part connecting to the motherboard doesn't seem to be sagging much, but I'm stressed about it breaking. Thanks for any advice!

If it seems off, you should definitely try to fix it. I had a bad sag with my 4090, but I put in a bracket and haven’t had any issues since. Just be cautious about those power connectors too—better safe than sorry!
It's tough to tell without a photo, but I get wanting to ensure your GPU is safe. Maybe consider investing in a sag bracket; they’re relatively cheap—like around 10 to 20 euros. I found one for just 6 euros on Amazon!
First off, don’t panic! It’s unlikely to break that quickly. Just get or make a little brace to support it. You could even use something like Legos if you’re crafty! Just an idea, but is it screwed into the case? The way it’s sagging seems odd if it is.
Yeah, it is screwed in, which is why I'm confused about the sagging. I just wish I could show you guys a picture!
I can't even post pictures here, so I guess I’m stuck with descriptions!
