You don't have to go with a large MXM-B with GTX 980m or mod interface to 3.1 to have RTX 3000/5000 go fast.
NVidia made Quadro T1000 (Turning) which are MXM-A and go for about 250$ a pop.
From what sellers tell me, they require eDP, so that's a thing.

i think the HP 8750W is limited by standard LVDS screen to use 980M max, anything newer seems to push the need to fit the DC screen or swapping in a new screen from a newer model.

i saw the T1000 in the Wiki however whilst a newer card, doesnt seem to have decent resolution output. Is the t1000 actually a more powerful card though, specs seem to say 980 is more gutsy.  whilst im still on the fence on best card to get (not ordered the card yet) still keen to take recommendations from your good selves.
