Also are there better alternatives to the p40 that don't cost a crazy amount?
The P40 is about as cost effective as it gets. But it's a bit of work to get it working. Also keep in mind that air cooling a P40 is either ineffective or extremely loud.
3090 is ~$650 and will be a lot faster and pair better with a 4090
I keep seeing these low numbers. Where are people finding 3090s that cheap? I was lucky to get a pair at about 900 each, but most places I see them listed, even refurbished ones are $800-1K.
Yea, I got mine by using an eBay auction using a sniper tool patience. Make sure to look at the seller and auctions.
If you get lucky, you can get a 3090 for about $650 on ebay. But you have to be patient.
You can get open box ones with 2 year warranty for less than that. Zotac had open box 3090s for like $729(If I remember right) earlier this week. If you get really lucky they rarely have the watercooled ready ones new for $799. But you have to supply your own block.
Yea I got a watercooled zotac trinity from ebay, around 800 bucks but for EU that's good.
