I recently got a new PC and I've been hearing a lot about GPU sagging. My graphics card is a 2-slot MSI 5060 Ti with 16GB Ventus 2X OC. I'm curious—do I actually need a sag bracket for my card, or am I good without it? What could happen if I decide to skip it?

i have the same card and don't use a bracket because it is currently fin however, if you are considering overclocking or undervolting your GPU (through MSI afterburner) then i would recommend one to prevent any potential damage to the PCIe slot or the GPU itself.
Honestly, you probably don't need a sag bracket. Since your card has two fans, it's actually lighter than those three-fan models, which are more prone to sag. So, you should be fine without one!
So if I skip the bracket, it's all good? Just wondering if adding one might mess with the airflow from the fans.
