[Bf-cycles] Collecting official benchmark results

[Carlo Andreacchio]

Non dedicated card... I just tested on one of our GTX590s (dual gpu on
one card) just rendering off one of the cards and it is the same
(tried both cards individually). GPU usage bounces all over the place
but when running it through bpy.ops.render.render() or via command
line it is 100% consistently.

These machines do not have a monitor attached as they are headless
nodes... accessing via VNC. Same results as on our artists
workstations.

I can provide further testing later today if needed (two GPUs in one
machine, one fully dedicated CUDA card)
