Hi all! I'm already doing some fast test on 10.8.3 and it is quite faster in 3D vs 10.8.2, specially Cinebench saw a big leap.
I'm also testing Unigine Heaven and valley, both see a good improvements in speed compared to 10.8.2 which was already the fastest OS X ever in 3D gfx.
I will soon post a graph like this old one:

sounds good, how about compatibility issues (compared to 10.7)? I though 10.8.3 was my signal to finall switch to Moutain Lion.

Since you have a Retina MacBook Pro can you also report what the OpenGL extension situation is like on a recent GPU? I think they've added at least 2 new OpenGL 3.3 and 1 OpenGL 4.1 extensions.

Are you talking about Elvis Presley's comeback ? Or that Godzilla is alive ?
Both and also 10.8.3 contains an OpenGL 4 extension!
