Is this IO shield rusting? GPU was bought in Mid 2020 and has seen 2 monsoons.

Ports and PCB seems fine to me.

Only the IO shield and the screw surface is rusting.

Also the rust can be seen only with a Mobile phone torchlight(dual tone) and not with a normal regular torchlight (white)

as long as the PCB looks fine i wouldn't worry about it. I have a GTX 750ti with the same issue, seems to be a thing on certain GPU's.

I am actually worried about the warranty. Performance seems fine or unaffected.

 

Since Zotac's warranty is kind of strict here in my country.
