Default How much can soffit vents help?

Hello,

I have a house from the 60s. It is 30 feet deep and 60 feet long. I have
3'x3' gable vents in each end of the house. Plus there are two roof
vents about 8 to 10 inches round.

There are no soffit vents what so ever. Reading on the Internet only
talks about the benefits to roof its self. I would like to know how much
it would help with the temperature in the rooms just below the attic.

The walkout basement family room and bedroom are always a good 15
degrees below that upstairs and the A/C runs all the time.

Will the vents help?

Thank you,
--
Frederick Wilson
