TL;DR
Quadro M4000
I found a refurbished Quadro M4000 for about $250. I'm wondering if I should get this or a new card for about the same price. The M400 refurbished comes with a 4 year extended warranty so basically $300 with a 4 year warranty.

I always go with new as refurbished can always have something unexpected go wrong with it plus it’s always an older version of the card not benefitting from design improvements and newer drivers.
