Photo realistic rendering in MachStudio Pro?

Recently there has been some discussion about the abilities of MachStudio Pro in photo-realistic renderings.  StudioGPU took it as a challenge, and have a new blog post discussing the possibilities.

I’ve read several comments in which, although artists were amazed by the performance and quality of MachStudio Pro, they were specifically searching for a solution to replace their offline photo-realistic rendering engines. A typical comment was something like: “Well V-Ray/Mental Ray/Brazil renders this architectural/automotive/product image like this. How close can MachStudio Pro get to this kind of photo-realistic render?”

In the image above, one image is from MachStudio Pro and the other is from V-Ray.  Can you tell the difference?  Read their post for the answer, and to see some great movies of architectural fly-throughs rendered with MachStudio Pro.
