I use IOR 8 for mirrors, although the reflective surface is usually behind a sheet of glass that also has absortion.
So in reallity the mirror will reflect considering the metal's index of refraction (that is not correctly calculated in octane using the standard shaders), inside a medium of glass that has natural absortion depending on its composition and thickness.
Why would this matter regarding making a good image?
If we can't increase more than ior 8.000 ("fake" mirror) using OR then we use ior 1.000, diffuse 0.000 (recommended) and specular 0.95~0.99. - my settings are best for true mirrors in real life. :)

Why do you say that?
How do you know your settings are the most correct?

Images are not enough to explain your conclusions.
Could you please elaborate?

thank you Glimpse. :)

i prefer to stay out of this mirror disscussion since i m happy with my mirror ;) but just a few words, as far as i know there is no only one mirror in the world. tons of tones. i m really deep in this furniture industry and know that the end users like darker or old look mirrors more on their furnitures.

thanks everyone who comments here

Attention to my glossy material settings (differences between fake and true mirror) - see my previous messages.

Look new photo captured (real life)

Therefore, I'm 100% true! ;)
