Octane benchmark results on GTX 480

i think we should do some propper benchmarks once we have some GTX480 cards in the community.

I fully agree. Just one more thing though:

I used version 1.00 beta 1 with octane8000.exe
- SpaceShips scene is 2,16 times slower than gtx 480
- Chess scene is 2,25 times slower than gtx 480

I reproduced both scenes in Octane with directlighting and pathtracing and I've noticed you're using directlighting in both your scenes. Look at the shadow under the spaceship: it's blueish in this pic, but not in yours. Also the pawns in this image are brighter then in your picture because they're indirectly lit. The difference between directlighting and pathtracing is not easily visible in these scenes. (To change to pathtracing, it's not enough to just choose pathtracing, you must double click on the button "Preview Configuration" in the Graph editor, then click once on the button "Mesh Preview Kernel" and in the right-panel change "directlighting" to "pathtracing" in the drop-down list. You'll see that Megasamples/sec will halve. I made this mistake too.)

I will do what you wrote once at office, right now I am home.

Is it possible to have the .07 demo version in order to really bench?

daft_punk - its 3-4x times faster than what card?

Wow! Really impressive speed!

Don't get blinded too much by these numbers. As radiance already said, it's better to wait until someone here has a gtx480 and can bench some more complex scenes (like the Death Star trench).

My result with Path Tracing:
Chess render Time: 8m09
