The Madness of Sagging GPUs

I’ve recently had to purchase a support brace for my home PC, and I felt the need to share the absurdity of this. The GPU is so heavy that it is sagging out of the socket.

First, let me clarify that my GPU is not high-end; it is considered medium-end. So, this isn’t even the cutting edge of GPU technology, the higher-end models are even bigger and heavier.

A team of engineers at Nvidia and AMD, working at the pinnacle of their fields, have signed off on a design that bends under its own weight. The socket that a GPU fits into is a standard and hasn’t changed in many years; it’s not a new innovation. Engineers! It’s absolute madness.
