Hi folks! I'm using a PRIME B760M-A WIFI D4 motherboard and a Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT with 16GB of memory. I'm wondering if I should invest in a GPU holder or if it's unnecessary?

I’ve got the same GPU, and I didn’t use a bracket and it’s doing fine. But if I had a triple fan, I’d definitely consider one for extra support.
If your GPU is firmly attached to your case and doesn’t sag too much, you might not need one. But if it's leaning a lot, it could be worth getting a holder for peace of mind!
Honestly, it really depends on your setup. Even for a dual-fan card, I’d suggest getting some support. It might not be strictly necessary, but it definitely helps to relieve stress from the PCIe slot over time.
The RX 9060 XT has three fans, so sagging could happen eventually. Some brands even include support with the GPU for that reason. It's pretty cheap too, around $5-10 on Amazon.
If you notice your GPU sagging significantly, definitely get a holder to prevent potential damage down the line. Better safe than sorry!
