Try switching GPU modes from Battery to Performance, or vice versa, and try plugging in a display if you can. It looks like your graphics card took a dump, but you have two, so switching modes will tell you if it's something more.
 
Oh god please don't say the new MacBook Pro I bought to replace my graphics issue laden 2008 MacBook Pro has the same damn problems....

I was going to give the same advice as Benjic but it doesn't look good.
