All video cards hang off the motherboard and the rear PCI slots. Are you saying it's still pretty flimsy?

I'm pretty sure the DCII cards come with a backplate...but not certain. I would buy one.

With modern graphics card being the size they are, it's normal to experience some sagging. That is why some manufacturers like Cooler Master make GPU holders.
Scythe makes a thin piece of wire that they call Ninja wire that helps reduce the sagging.

The backplate helps but do not remove the complete sagging.

In the regular cases, where the VGA is mounted horizontally, sagging is very common problem… bigger the VGA, bigger the sagging will be - however, it should not be so sensitive as you say… if light bumping disconnects it, the you have a seating/power connection problem!
As Chino said, backplates help in some extent, but won't be perfect… I kinda like that wire thing…
The best solution though is to use a case where the cards are mounted vertically… - that's why I like the Test Bench-style cases...

I'll try to seat it in the slot again and see what happens.
