All of the graphics cards you mentioned are powerful and capable of handling Python and Linux Mint. However, the choice of the card depends on your specific requirements, budget, and usage.

If you are doing deep learning or other GPU-intensive tasks, the RTX 3070, 3080, or 3090 may be a good choice due to their high performance and support for CUDA, which is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA.

On the other hand, if you are doing professional 3D modeling, rendering, or other workstation-class tasks, the Quadro A4000 may be a better option due to its optimized drivers, better stability, and certified support for professional applications.

In terms of cost, the Quadro A4000 is typically more expensive than the RTX 3070, 3080, or 3090, so it may not be the best choice if you have a limited budget. The upcoming RTX 40 series may also be worth considering if you can wait for its release.

Ultimately, it's best to research the specific requirements of your work and budget to make an informed decision.
