Can anyone clarify. I know you cannot currently plot compressed plots with 64g ram on standard software, but can you farm them if you buy the plots from a plotting service and have a GPU (rtx3090) ?

Yes you can farm them.
You can plot in 16GB at the moment, but 64GB mode doesn’t work. Mind you there is also a plotting bug which affects plotting on the GUI, only affects Linux I believe.

Does not GH support 64gb plotting?

GH supports 64GB plotting, but no mention of anything below.
# Gigahorse GPU Plotter
Gigahorse is a madMAx GPU plotter for compressed k32 plots either fully in RAM with 256G or partially in RAM with 128G.
Other K sizes are supported as well, such as k29 - k34, in theory any K size (if compiled for it).
RAM requirements scale with K size, so k33 needs 512G, k30 only needs 64G, etc.
For k30+ at least 8 GB VRAM are required, use `-S 3` or `-S 2` to reduce VRAM usage (at the cost of performance). The minimum VRAM needed is 4 GB.
Supported GPUs are:
All GPUs for compute capability 5.2 (Maxwell 2.0), 6.0, 6.1 (Pascal), 7.0 (Volta), 7.5 (Turing) and 8.0, 8.6, 8.9 (Ampere).
Which includes: GTX 1000 series, GTX 1600 series, RTX 2000 series, RTX 3000 series and RTX 4000 series
When buying a new GPU, it's recommended to go for a Turing or newer.
