P40s are so slept on. 24gb vram for $150.

I think if they had more than 24gb there would be more interest but the hacks and noise with trying to make server hardware work within a desktop case and the FP16 performance is extremely poor compared to a 3090 (183.7 GFLOPS vs 35.58 TFLOPS IIRC).

when you see a deal which is too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true!

[datadrivenangel]

It's not too good to be true, it just takes a lot of power to run old GPUs to get slow token speeds!

[haswell]

What are the factors that make the P40 too good to be true?

[washadjeffmad]

Convenience, support, and performance.

Ampere is the floor, in practice, which is what effectively makes the "buy a Mac Studio" crowd P40 people with 10x the budget.

P40s are no longer $150. On eBay, they're at least $250 from China, or $400 for US sellers
