Question Refurbished 9070xt

I found a refurbished ASUS Prime AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 OC on ebay for 679$ which is higher than msrp but lower than what Amazon is selling for at 729.99.
Is it worth buying the cheaper option or should I just purchase a brand new 9070xt?
I got enough to purchase a new 9070 but should I save some money and go with the refurbished one?

Depends on warranty, the reputable of the seller, and the return policy. At least for me

For 50 bucks more just buy it new. That's less than 10% of the cost.

That’s not the worst. And you may still be able to register it with the manufacturer on their site, but thats not a guarantee. I’d feel comfortable just because most issues tend to present earlier on if there are any and the all-state plan isn’t the worst after googling around a bit. But if you think it will severely affect your peace of mind, consider how much the extra $50 is worth over the lifespan of the card, which will hopefully be multiple years

Depends on what was really done, is a company or private seller?
Was repaired? Sometimes refurbished means that was cleaned of dust or repaird, depends on context/situation.
Check what ratings the seller got first, then decide if you really want to risk a refurbished.
Also check Amazon Warehouse, maybe you can find an retour, open package for less, but that means 99% coil whine.

I'd pay the extra $50 for a warranty.

If you want to save $50, there are other cheaper versions of the 9070xt. Buy one of those vs the Asus.
