My current specs are 7950x cpu, 96gb 6000 mhz ram and a rtx 4090. Would a buying a p40 make bigger models run noticbly faster? If it does is there anything I should know about buying p40's? Like do they take normal connectors or anything like that. I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy a cooler for it but idk what else.

Also are there better alternatives to the p40 that don't cost a crazy amount?

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.
