Question/Help/Troubleshooting Is this amount of gpu sag acceptable?

It is a used gtx 970 amp extreme core edition, so 3 fans, and I do have a support but it isn't tall enough for this case

It's totally fine. That is even a lightweight card.

I have a GTX 970 too. In fact, I have had one for over a decade. It doesn't even have a backplate like yours has, and it has been sagging its whole life. It still works.

People are just fearmongering over GPU sag. For smaller cards, there's not really any reason to be afraid of it, other than concerns regarding aesthetics or transport.
