I was installing my evga gtx 770 4gb video card in my antec 300 case, I don't have much room to work with and was somewhat difficult installing due to how big the card is but was able to angle it in and it connected and snapped in place, card works fine, I was unable able to get one screw in and it lines up, made sure it was snug and tightened, there is a second area where there's a hook and it slightly blocks the second screw hole on my case, I tried to wobble it a little and it doesn't move enough for me to install a second screw, when I plugged in my hdmi cable, the card seems like it's in place and everything works, do I really need the second screw in there or should one suffice? I talked to evga and they said it may help against vibration but it isn't required,
 
Solution
The screws are merely there to keep it in place. If you don't have both screws in then you should be fine, it's just that your GPU will not be as secured in place as it might be with two screws.
