Temperature tests

We're including FurMark results with a twist. The GTX 570's driver and monitoring chips disable v1.8.2 and cause it to load the GPU incorrectly. We switched back to v1.7.0 and ran the test; this version isn't yet on the 'banned' list for the ForceWare 263.02 driver. Please bear in mind that only the GTX 570 and 580 run FurMark v1.7.0 - all others run the newer v1.8.2.

The card runs a little bit cooler than the previous generations'. It should remain well below the maximum operating temperature of 97°C in a well-ventilated chassis.
