hmmm maybe I 'll upgrade to a GTX470...4x is a decent speed up...also would fit my case
I looked at the price of a 3 card Octane power rig but its prohibitive/hard to justify, unless you are in a rendering business. $5-6-7000 here

Nice to share your result
But you have to screen grab during the rendering in order to see the MSample per sec rate.
Alrighty then:

Octane Beta 2.2RC1 + WinXP 64 + 2x XEON + 12 GB + 8x GTX480 = 29 thwak (20.97 Ms/s)
But, GPU LOAD is not that high. There seems to be some room to increase speed.

Crazy for sure!
So the good news is your 8 gtx 480 rig can run under Win XP Pro 64!
PS: Please stop using this "thwak" disturbing unit, MSample/Sec is sufficient enought I thing.
