Conclusion and Verdict
I would consider this almost a necessity for Graphics cards now days. They are so much bigger and heavier than in the past and I don’t see this trend going in the other direction. This GPU brace alleviates all the unneeded weight pulling on you PCI-E slot. It can be a little unnerving seeing your 800 dollar video card sag and put the whole board and card in jeopardy but can you imagine someone moving the case around with all that stress…..Not me, no way won’t have it!! GET A BRACE.
As I currently have no need for a GPU Brace as I have a setup where I can mount the card vertically. I am actually getting use out of the brace just for the lights! The lights look fantastic and work flawlessly with Aura. If your card has no lights this will add a little pop in that area of the case!

Final thoughts:
