I was looking at the RTX 5090 listings on NewEgg and the last picture (7/7) on this MSI card is a thing I don’t recognize. Anyone know what it is?

    GPU support pillar. This is what it looks like extended. These really help with GPU sag and remove some pressure off the PCI slot.

      Couldn’t you just put your PC case horizontally to avoid GPU sag as well? I have a horizontal case and I’m not sure why it’s so uncommon.

        It’s uncommon because people like to see the inside of their pcs, especially on an enthusiast level.
