Picking out the next gpu's to buy, after using P40's for running LLama (alien.top)

I started with running quantized 70B on 6x P40 gpu's, but it's noticeable how slow the performance is. Sure maybe I'm not going to buy a few A100's to replace them. But what about an RTX8000 or two?

These will be going into a 2u gigabyte gpu server, so consumer cards don't fit

From what I see rtx8000 is a bit slower than p40 in inference, a bit faster in training. The only speed up would be from running 2 cards instead of 6. Out of curiosity - what speeds did you have with p40s?
