Absolute visual magnitudes and bolometric luminosities at maximum, calculated from models of dwarf nova outbursts, are practically identical with those corresponding to the steady-state accretion at the critical mass transfer rate. This is due to the fact that the temperature distribution in the inner parts of the disk, which contribute most of the global flux, matches closely the standard, steady-state distribution. The theoretical M_V(max)=f(M₁,P) relations reproduce, on the average, quite well the observed M_V vs. P relation. Observational data appear insufficient, however, to confirm the predicted dependence on M₁.
