(It's not really related, but modern GPUs are getting burdensomely
heavy and large too... so much so that the PCIE slots on motherboards

slots getting pulled off their traces on the motherboard because of
the weight. My GPU came with a little adjustable 'brace' meant to be
placed between GPU and chassis to help hold the massive thing up.

 I put in a GPU brace recently. I think I read the drooping of the GPU
board itself isn't healty in the long run either. Haven't had PCIe
sockets pulled off yet or breakage in any GPU though, the current one is
the first where I've put in a brace.

My current one seems to be fine in that regard, but I do remember my last one drooping.
