    So the Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS I guess is now considered a mainstream part. It has 8 pixel shaders, 8 vertex shaders, a core speed of 400, memory speed of 600, and DirectX 10 support. But having a fairly slow core speed and memory speed makes it slow. Will the new games supporting Direct X10 need faster video cards than the Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS to show off their DirectX 10 architecture? Will there be any Direct X10 games that the 8400M GS will be able to show it's DirectX 10 support in :confused: ?
