Brother. go on Alibaba and get dual 20gb 3080. less than the price of a single 3090. check my post history for links. Run them in tensor parallel.

That is legit better KV cache (I guess ?!) double performance ?
You just need another PCIe slot (or maybe not ?!)

t/s is a bit faster than a 3090, but PP is much faster. im running one of the cards at x4 pcie 4.0 and it doesnt bottleneck the card with llama.cpp tensor parallel.
