why does next gpu start twice?

[super gnu]

ive switched to the next gpu (demo) and ive noticed that when it starts rendering my scene, it does 2 passes (so arrives at 32 passes in the stats) then starts at 0 passes again, but a darker image. why is it doing that?


im using a bit of displacement, apart from that, scene is totally standard.

The first few passes are to compute the adaptive lights. They should not be different from the final render though. Would it be possible to send me a scene to vlado@chaosgroup.com for investigation?

In any case, there are plans to improve this.

Best regards,
