lol gamers

8400 wont run any games. in fact the 8500 and 8600GT wont either. you want 8600GTS or higher to play games.

No man....

8600GT has 32 stream processors and 22GBps memory bandwidth. essentially making it a 7600GT with DX10 support. you're telling me 7600GT can't run any games? check your facts before you post.

The 8400GS in my laptop runs Halo PC and Counter Strike: Source at 1280x800 with all the settings at their highest and maintains a playable framerate. Benchmarks show it handling games like Quake 4 and Prey at reasonable settings as well. I've found 1024x640 scales pretty nicely on my laptop, so I can always drop down to that resolution and medium settings and probably still manage 30FPS in some newer titles.

Is it a high-performance video card? Nope. But will it run a good selection of current games with reasonably good visuals and playable framerates? Yes. As long as you don't expect miracles out of it, it's a decent card. It's no substitute for a higher-end card, but it's holding me off until I get the money together for a gaming desktop.

My brother laptop with Intel GMA 950 runs World in Conflict beta just fine.
