Does the card sit under a fan? Could something be leaking from the fan or from the top of the PC? It looks oily.
that does not look good, even the stickers are moist, really moist.Thanks - no idea as it just arrived, I agree - I guess the question is more 'could this cause an issue?'. I can clean it up, but wanted to check first...I bought it from eBay so could start a return but if it looks like a non issue then clean and use. The rest of the card looks fine...I note the listing didn't include the back of the card.

I would 100% return it if you can
Would be tempted to stick it in your pc with fur mark running for half an hour to see how it goes.
Probably drips from water-cooling .
Slap on heaven loop see how it does

Oil from thermal pads on GPU back plate is normal ...
Maybe thermal pad leaking? I can't remember but my 1070 or 1070ti had a few spots that looked wet/greasey and the internet said some cards get it and its normal.
Had the card about a year or two before upgrading and selling it.
Oil from thermal pads on GPU back plate is normal but if your using liquid cooling I'd check for leaks just incase.
It's this. I assume this was not new? Don't worry, it doesn't cause any harm. You would know by now if it did.
Yes, thanks folks - the seller did find some examples and it's cleaned up and tested fine
