Chris' gaming experiences go back to the mid-nineties when he conned his parents into buying an 'educational PC' that was conveniently overpowered to play Doom and Tie Fighter. He developed a love of extreme overclocking that destroyed his savings despite the cheaper hardware on offer via his job at a PC store.

Anyone who's bought a high end graphics card over the last couple of years knows they are seriously chunky bits of kit. If they weren't used for gaming, they'd make pretty good blunt force murder weapons.

These days, boards with some kind of reinforcement are not prone to failure, unless the slot is subjected to stresses caused by improper installation. The problem of sagging graphics cards can be alleviated by the use of support struts or brackets, but still, there are examples of cards with cracked PCBs around the slot finger area, which is the load bearing part of a sagging card. If the weight of your GPU is not properly balanced, PCB cracking can definitely happen.

If some next-gen cards take up five slots, then properly balancing and distributing the weight of such a beefcake card will become more important than ever.
