well, you'll have to decide between nVidia's crippled mainstream drivers for Maya/3dsMax Viewports or AMD's fvcked up Catalyst on latest Linux distros.

I'll choose the latter if I don't need to use Linux.

250Gb for 3400? :crazy:

Price is increasing almost everyday, and these quoted prices are not exactly the latest price but more than 1 week old price. ;) So expect it to be in the higher side by now.
