GTX 680M or QUADRO 5010M in a NOTEBOOK?

Yes of course i did the workaround. If you do not write the name of the card, you have 0% GPU acceleration. I think between the 570 and the 580, there is no difference with CS6 today (it should be twice more powerfull).

I read this considering Mercury Playback Engine and GPUs:

Different video formats put different demands on the CPU and GPU. For example, if you have an AVI clip on your timeline and you export it to an AVI file with no effects or transitions then the GPU will get around 1% usage. However, if your timeline has the same AVI clip with no effects or transitions and you are exporting to an MPEG2 DVD then GPU will see much more usage

Some people have reported they have only seen a small increase in performance, while others say they have seen up to 12 time faster performance. This is because of the video format, the effects and transitions they are using. Each can play a big part in how much speed increase you will see. If you use a simple video format with no effects or transitions, don't expect to see a huge increase in performance.

On the other hand you scaled your footage and that should be heavy on the GPU so apparently 680M can't shine with Mercury yet?!

I did not test in deep the 570, so it is hard to compare. I don't think I am faster but i am not slower either with the 680M.
I did a quick test with Resolve (I am a beginner with Resolve) :
- R3D Quad HD in time line, no effect, I read at 1about 16 fps. CPU is about 75% and GPU 30%

I add Nodes : I am keeping the 75% CPU but the GPU increase to 45%. I keep the 15 fps too. It seems that the nodes in Resolve take much more the power of the GPU than the CPU. In my Clevo, I have 2 graphic cards : one is inside the CPU (Intel 4000) and the GTX 680M. I don't have any message in Resolve saying "you are using Resolve on only 1 GPU" so I understand that Resolve see 2 cards. Am I wrong ?

Yes both GPUs are used. The 4GB RAM of 680M should add good amount of performance for apps like Resolve.
