What DETAILED info do you want, processing speed, number of pipelines etc etc??
Looks like youve made your decision, but you can get a quadro in another manufacturers site in a laptop, which will work, no probs.
Have a search on Cgtalk as they had some posts on that.

If you have a look on CGtalk people were having problems with the 8000 series cards with viewport errors etc etc, I think it was on PCs as they those cards wernt available for macs at the time, thats how I know you might have problems and as your going to use fusion you might get them depending on the settings used.
I think that thre were a few posts related to the 8000 Series cards on here too.

Also if its a mobile chipset you might be best off seeing if you can find anyone with a macbook and that card to see if theres any issues running it via bootcamp or VM ware, or nativly as its not a supported card for maya.
