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?

Probably the GPU support. Top piece screws into the body for height adjustment.
Dang, those get FANCY!

Oh wow that's neat. I saw where some of the new cards have fan connectors. Must plug into that.
Edit: My bad, this is incorrect. Just saw image 3/7. You may be able to use fan header on card but doesn't appear designed to do so.
I myself prefer these slightly minimalist ones. They can be found on Temu for cheaper.

Also the Lian Li GB 001 brackets are great in my opinion if you want something a little more hidden. They attach directly to your motherboards mount points.

You can also use both of these at the same time.
Thanks for bringing this bracket to my attention. I've got an Antec C8 case with fans in the bottom, so a support pillar wouldn't work for me.
I didn't realize this was a thing. Card must be really heavy! My 3080 came with a sort of bracket to prevent sagging but this is next level. @[email protected]
