I just installed a new GPU and I've noticed a little bit of sag. It's not too bad, just a slight dip down to the right, but I'm worried it might be a problem. Can anyone tell me if this level of sag is serious or if I need to do something to fix it?

If it's only a slight sag and everything is still secure in its slot, you should be just fine! It's common for GPUs to sag a bit, especially if they’re heavy. Just make sure it’s not putting any stress on the PCIe connector. If it gets worse or starts to slant, then you might want to look into a support bracket. But from what you're saying, it doesn't sound concerning at all.
Yeah, sag happens to a lot of setups. As long as the temperatures are normal, you should be okay.
Without seeing a picture, it’s tough to judge, but slight sag is pretty typical. If it’s not noticeable and the card isn't leaning at an extreme angle, you likely don’t need to worry about it. Just enjoy your new GPU!
Thanks for the input! I checked the connection, and it seems secure, so I'll keep an eye on it.
