- CUDA plot with Quadro M4000 and 256GB RAM always fails on the second plot.
- My opinion: Don't use Gigahorse!

Wendell tests all kind of Epycs plotting speed in Bladebit
I don't have any epycs, but I've talked with many people who do, as well as some TR pro owners with 3000 and 5000 series, and we've tested a lot of things. https://github.com/Chia-Network/bladebit/discussions/228 describes some of the problems seen with epycs pretty well. We've also discussed using different nodes per socket settings, disabling some of the cores, manually using numactl and running bladebit with --no-numa and --no-cpu-affinity. So yes, I have some idea what I'm talking about, and your blanket statement that "bladebit doesn't use multithreading" is 100% incorrect.

Plotting "Suddenly" Nine Minutes Slower...
If you get your CPU-not-maxed-out problem solved, you might want to try a RHEL based distro (for Bladebit). As of a year ago RHEL was noticably faster with Bladebit. This thread had positive things to say about Rocky (RHEL 8 clone). Apparently Arch is another good candidate.

Best guide to replot from OG to something more updated?
At least with Gigahorse (by madmax) which you also need to use his farming software, not compatible with official client from Chia. https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse/tree/master/cpu-plotter

RTX 2060 8gb
2080 super is pretty close in performance to a 3060 ti, so you can just go by this chart minus 10% or so: https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse

Whats the best way to plot
This is not official CNI software so proceed with caution: https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse

Whats the best (most efficient and cheap) GPU to farm C8 compressed plots?
I don't know too much about farming with harvesters (I don't have any). What I do know is that the most recent Gigahorse release now allows for "remote GPU farming" (or whatever he is calling it) which means you will only need one GPU (in the farmer) to handle all harvester's compressed plots. As far as CPU compressed plot farming with harvesters...I couldn't tell you. Have you checked out Max's GitHub, it might answer a lot of your questions.
