Hi Simon (and Wim)
A few comments....
2 x 580 cards should render incredibly fast (and yes, at the moment they seem to have the performance edge on the 600 series cards). The only downside is you have fewer texture slots that the 600 series cards.
If the Stonemason scene is rendering totally black, check to make sure there isn't a skydome blocking all the scene light.
The demo you are using is 1.00, so there have been a couple of fixes and many enhancements since then. With the light emitter script, the movnig of lights now propagates to the Octane scene. Plus the scene infinite light now moves the Octane sun in the Octane scene.
If possible - use your on-board graphics card as your Windows display adapter.
