So I was cleaning off some thermal paste on my GPU with 91% alcohol, and some of it got onto my card

Should I be concerned? I'm not able to test it right now so I dunno what to think.

should be fine - just give it a bit of time for any excess water (what little bit is in the 91%alc) to dry up

I use these alcohol swabs (used to clean like sunglass lenses and stuff).
You should be fine.

Reminds me of a time a friend had half his netbook submerged in water. The battery was out and it was unplugged. He let it air dry (completely taken apart) for 48 hours and the thing turned on like a charm.

... My laptop was ON when the window was left open and it started to downpour (when I was eating dinner). Even when it completely dried... she never booted again

tl;dr -- it's a very little bit, just let her dry for a few hours and you'll be good to go
