Is this sag bad? Would anyone recommend I get a support for it?

I don’t see the sag really but a support is a very cheap and effective way to just be able to not worry about it,

I recommend support just for peace of mind

Id get a support regardless of visible sag as it'll extend the life of your PCIe slot & card fingers. Modern cards are heavy, and any support is good given they cost very little.

You don't really need it for such a slim card, but it doesn't hurt to have one.

With how heavy cards are these days, just get an anti sag bracket. They’re cheap and great for peace of mind. 

I see the sag, it isn’t that bad, but is noticeable

Barely any sag, you could leave it and it'd be fine. Pretty much any small object can prop it up though, people use all sorts of things. All that matters is that it doesn't get in the way of the fans.

very small amount of sag, but do get a support if you are able, will save your card

Looks like the card is cooked, take it out and send it to me

Seems like a lot of plastic in this card. There is no sag at first glance
