I recently managed to snag two amazing deals on graphics cards: an ASUS Prime 9070 XT brand new for $600 (about $636 after taxes) from Newegg, and a Powercolor Red Devil that's practically new, having only been used a few times, for $600 flat off Facebook. Now, I only need to keep one, and I'm considering selling the other. Given that I'm upgrading from a GTX 1070 and playing at 3440x1440 with a Ryzen 7 5800XT, which one should I sell and which should I keep?

Red Devil is a great choice too! It’s got better clock speeds out of the box, so you might want to consider that. Just ensure you’re comfortable with any warranty issues since it’s used.
I think you should definitely keep the ASUS one. The warranty is usually better than what you’d get with the used one, and it’s always nice to have that peace of mind. Plus, you can’t be too sure about the history of the used card - it could have been exposed to some rough conditions!
Keep the one that comes with a warranty! That's the most important thing if you want peace of mind down the line. The differences in performance should be negligible between the two.
Honestly, I’d go for the cheapest option. Performance difference is minimal, so just focus on warranty and how each card looks in your build!
That makes sense, but I've heard ASUS might not always honor warranties. You might want to double-check that, especially if you can get a receipt for the Red Devil.
