Not to TC, but just cross referenced the MPN (KMR5070N5LCET3A) from this ebay listing on the Newegg site (looks to be the same refub product) and noticed the following:
16 Pin (12+4Pin) 12VHPWR Power Supply Adapter is NOT included
which would be a bit of a deal killer for me, but note, the ebay listing appears to be silent in this regard, however I'd suspect it will not include this adapter either.

happy hunting!

most PSU comes with one... and who doesn't have a few lying around due to replacing the generic black ones with white after market ones to match white cases? lol
Whoops, I was probably thinking of a 9060 XT 16gb at $350 which is slower than this 5070 but has more VRAM and costs less. This 5070 is a refurb too. Trade offs.
An important consideration for anyone thinking about purchasing this card now and returning it if there's a better deal over the next 30 days:
While ebay lists this card as having "Free shipping & returns: Never pay for shipping and get 30 day free returns with eBay Refurbished.", the bottom of the seller description says: "Returns are subject to restocking fees of 15% - 30% of the purchase price and return shipping fees. For products that are eligible for return for replacement, the return shipping labels are free for returns for replacement of the same item within the applicable return policy period. Newegg does NOT charge for restocking fees or return shipping labels for returns of defective products, or if you received the wrong product, the product did not match what was shown on the Site, or we made some other shipping error, provided the item is returned within its return policy period, and in accordance with the Return Policy. For international buyers, items shipped internationally do not qualify for manufacturer warranties."
Moving on to the card itself, I believe this is the lowest price a triple fan 5070 has ever been, including previous refurbished deals. At ~$450 this is by far the best dollars per frame you'll get with a modern nvidia card, though this is tainted by the pathetic 12gb vram buffer. While you may potentially be able to snag a better one-off used deal from a smaller seller on ebay or facebook marketplace, the risk is substantially higher and you won't get a warranty. The upcoming super refresh will rectify the vram issue, though it's likely late January is the absolute earliest you'll be able to purchase a 5070 super (and prices will likely be inflated for at least a month afterwards). While amd's competing rdna4 9070 (xt) cards are slowly dropping down to the point they are once again substantially superior in terms of price per frame, the standard caveats of a lack of dlss support, much worse ai/ml performance, lack of cuda, etc. still apply. If you only use your gpu for gaming and are comfortable with manually modding each game you play to utilize fsr4 using tools like optiscaler, I'd go with a 9070xt at $630 or less over an nvidia gpu.
Pny is currently more of a middle of the road aib when it comes to gaming, they used to be primarily a professional/enterprise aib but have shifted more towards consumer cards in the past few years. Last gen pny cards used inferior thermal paste that "pumps out" over the course of a few months and causes extremely high hotspot temps; though this issue also affected many other major aibs (ex. Asus, Palit, Gainward, Zotac, Inno3d, Manli, etc.): https://www.igorslab.de/en/cause-...mal-paste/
Hopefully this has been rectified with current gen cards, I haven't seen any major reports of issues on rtx 5000 series cards. Of course, that could just be because nvidia decided to remove the hotspot temp sensor from the 5000 series (why fix problems when you can just make them invisible to your customers, amirite?).
Overall, if you're looking to purchase a midrange gpu in the short term and don't mind refurbished, this is a rather good deal. If you're not in a rush I'd probably recommend waiting till black friday / cyber monday in hopes of an even better deal cropping up. If you're willing to wait for several months, I'd personally recommend holding out for the upcoming nvidia super refresh, which boosts vram capacity across the lineup by 50%.
The Super will be way more though. Hard to compare when it'll probably be over $150 more.

is this the best gpu deal yet this year?
not bad if you don't have a microcenter near you. but prob better to buy a new card for $70-$100 more IMO.
i saw that one, i'm not a fan of it since it doesnt have 3 fans.
If you were a fan then there would be three fans

a simple question, assuming PNY has this card launched in Mar 2025, then even refurb one should still have 2+ years original warranty, right?
That is a good question... These are probably returns. It's a very good question on what system Newegg and PNY have and how they handle returns and what proof of purchase they require.
My general feeling on stuff like this, is that the return invalidates the warranty.
