I've noticed about a degree of GPU sag on my setup. It doesn't seem that severe, but I'm wondering if I should look into getting a stand to prop it up. Has anyone dealt with this? At what point does GPU sag become a problem, and should I take action before it gets worse?

Honestly, you might not need anything! Just get a simple bracket if you want some peace of mind. It’s really about how much support you feel comfortable with.
If the sag is barely visible, you’re probably fine. But if it starts to bug you, it might be a good idea to prop it up. A lot of people use DIY solutions, so you can get creative with what you have at home.
It's not really the ports you need to worry about; it's more about the PCB bending and the traces getting damaged. Using a stand can be a smart move, just make sure it’s placed well so it supports properly.
The main concern is the weight and potential momentum if you bump your case. A prop can help avoid stress on your GPU in those situations, plus it can look nicer!
