I'd be very surprised if anyone released a GTX 480 with 6 GB; there just aren't any games that could take advantage of that much memory, which means the potential market (basically all of us here!) is very small. I think the best we might see is a 480 with 3 GB, hopefully later this year. Or you could pick up a Tesla C2070 when it's released, but I think most of us have better ways to spend a few thousand dollars.

Last two images posted with optimized fermi octane appear to be darker in shadows and have less reflection on materials. Could it suggest that there is less light bounces calculated?

they are the same scene / same settings and they look equal to me...

Hello!

Here are my results on my GTX275 1792 MB Gigabyte HDMI stock clocks with Q6600 @ 2,4 GHz , 8 GB ram A-Data DDR2 800 MHz, MSI P35 using hackintosh OSX 10.6.3 . Octane render 1.021 beta 2.1 demo .

tforgo asked me about doing a comparison with the new optimized version, so I rendered the benchmark all the way through again. I have attached the images from my last benchmark render that was to the finish and the new 1.21 beta. I didn't think I would see any difference, but when I switched between the two images, I could see the new render is just slightly darker than the original render.

The original render is on the bottom, new render on the top.

the sky is also a bit darker, so i'm guessing the exposure it a bit different.
maybe it's due to the non-linear exposure changes between both versions.

This test is a realy good thing

Well compared to my previews benchmark, beta 2.2 is super fast.
