You might want to look into getting something a LOT stronger, maybe something like brake caliper cleaner, (it might be bad for it, but I don't know) since that oil left over can easily short things if even a small amount of it remains. Also, you're going to need to clean THAT afterwards with alcohol, and then repaste the card.

 

Why did you do such a thing to your GPU in the first place?

The greasy part won't magically dried, you need to wipe it out.

The contact cleaner is only making it dissolve, so it would be separated from the pcb.

Don't use tissue, it would leave some residue, use a cloth or microfibre.
