You seem to already know about the cables. It's luck of the draw, even if some keyboard jockey copied & pasted the retail information that lists adapters & cables.
Experience says, like cpu's & RAM, many of these refurb cards come back to newegg because they wouldn't overclock to the previous customer's goals. I've ordered for myself and customers and received good ones and bad ones with a slightly lower success rate than retail, but none of the refurbs overclocked worth beans. It can mean a good deal where overclocking isn't important but may not match your needs. For what it's worth.
