After receiving or building a new gaming machine featuring some of the latest components, you may find yourself asking: ‘Do I need a GPU support bracket?’ That’s because modern, and especially top-of-the-line, GPUs are enormous chonks that will sag after installation - this looks worrisome, but it can potentially damage your motherboard and video card, but it's also just plain untidy too. After all, some of the best graphics cards are some of the biggest graphics cards and can weigh a substantial amount.
I recently found a bit of a bargain in the form of an open-box RTX 3090 PC at a UK retailer and was a little alarmed by the GPU sag I saw from the BFGPU - as a result, I bought in a few different GPU anti-sag brackets and set about on a small adventure to answer the question of whether you need a GPU support bracket or not.
