High-end graphics cards seem to be getting larger and heavier with every new release, which in turn increases the chances of damage. So, with this in mind PowerColor set out to create a simple solution to reduce the strain of large graphics cards and prevent the chances of any damage occurring to your expensive gear.
What they came up with is a "professional graphics card interface supporter", dubbed the Power Jack. This small product fits under large graphics cards and with the adjustable height can support the back end. This puts the excess weight onto the Power Jack and will reduce the stain on the PCIE slot.
This product is not going to be necessary in most situations, but if you have a high-end graphics card connected to an expensive motherboard, and are worried about damage to the components, you might be interested in what the Power Jack has to offer.

For whoever is worrying about the way it looks you might want to just take some thin wire around the shroud of the heatsink or part of the heatsink and tie it up to something higher in the case.
But, yes, it does what it says lol!
That's really the only time I could see this put to proper use.
hah, the way things are going, lets make motherboards and heavy video cards in such a way that backplates would be needed
