Was setting up my new GPU and noticed that's it's sagging a little bit...

Everything is fully tightened and whatnot. It doesn't come across well on camera because I did a bad job taking the picture, but irl the GPU is definitely not at 0°

Is this safe? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Running at medium settings, 1512x982 resolution, M-Sync enabled, D3DMetal.

I'm getting ~50fps in a less busy area, but that quickly drops to low 40s when I enter combat, move to an open area, or have the game running for longer than 20 minutes.

I can live with sub-60fps, it's just these constant stutters I'm getting that are bothering me. They make the game borderline unplayable sometimes since they seem to happen more frequently with any motion on screen (in other words, combat.) I'm multiple hours in and the micro freezes keep occurring even in places like the main hub. I tried the other graphic layer options in crossover, none of them seemed to perform better than D3DMetal.

I'm not very experienced with mac gaming. I've only ever tried running older titles and emulation, so I don't know if this is just par for the course, even for a decade old game. Can someone whose played this game on a mac please put my expectations in check or help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here...
