I've never noticed this style of graphic's card before, till I looked at the new ability to choose/update the laptops.  How does the FX5010 4GB compare say to the 485, 460 etc..esp with it's price tag?

Is it something to consider down the road for future releases such as Skyrim, Rage,
Bioshock Infinite?

The Quadro line is for professional media editing applications, not gaming. Gaming performance is crappy.

The QUADRO cards are for business use, while the GeForce cards are for consumer/gaming use.

Just from a driver standpoint alone, I can say that the nvidia drivers will detect the card as a QUADRO card, and will therefore engage the driver programming that optimizes GPU-compute and CUDA features for business-specific workloads, while not using the driver programming that optimizes form gaming and other consumer stuff.

In other words a bad idea. The card is for a different market (business computing), and will thus be optimized for that use, not for gaming. As such, it's best to stick with the GeForce side of Nvidia.
