    The Nvidia Quadro 2000M (55 watt power consumption) is known well w/ the Thinkpad W520 (the W520 ran for ~7 hours on battery w/ a quad core and the 2000M) can play Starcraft 2. More information can be found here.

    how well does it compare to other graphics cards in gaming?
    and does it get hot or mostly cool?

    It appears to be around the GTX 460M in terms of benchmarks but I would expect slightly worse gaming performance from the 2000M since it is optimized for CAD. And every GPU gets hot. ;) The bigger the rated TDP, the more heat it creates.

    When you go the the link I put in my previous post, you can compare the fps of each game w/ other graphics card (note that the 2000M has 6.9 in the Windows Experience Index and it can handle engineering applications easily).

    Actually it should be around 20% weaker than the 460M because it uses 128-bit GDDR3 VRAM, not 192-bit GDDR5 seen in most 460M's.

    The gaming performance is a little less than the Gt555m according to Notebookcheck gaming list.

    Well it is still not as strong as GDDR 5 in either regard.
