SSS lamp Shade. Little dots. Any Thoughts.

Here is my desk scene after 45 minutes. I'd let it run futher but its making dots and it is related to the SSS I believe.
When I remove the SSS I don't get dots. Any Thoughts? My scattering is .1 and my absortion is .5

Here is the same image with sunlight and no SSS.

Try scatt=0.3 and absorb=0.9

YEs the Monitor is MXI.
Only I think I set either the luminance too low or made the MXI image values to low.
It does emit light but not very much. I made a scene where it is the only lightsource but its not emitting optimally. I think I need to remake the MXI a little better with the emitter value higher.
Noise is still there. Oh well. SSS is still being refined. Its alot better then my faked versions a little while back.

I'm using max and this is happening to me too. I'm not even using sss, but it's happening with my dielectrics.

this used to happen to me with an old alpha version (can't remember which). I never did figure it out. I read some posts in the Lightwave section saying that it may have something to do with the "sun" settings. No clue here.

No its Lightwave.
I think its a MW beta issue. Everyone can get the black dots. Its a bug that will probably be fixed in a couple of days. They did mention a patch in a few days at beta release.
MXI lit only.

Im getting black dots in a scene with only plastic and diffuse. I get white dots in the scene with dialectrics.
I use 3d studio. ive made a thread about it -
