    the gt version will definately run games better. its faster clocked, 128 bit as opposed to the 64 bit in the gs... More dedicated memory... I think i saw somewhere that in FEAR, the gt got more than twice the framerate of a gs...

    The GT will outperform the GS BIG TIME.

    The GT will run games much better because:

    GS: 64 bit memory bus, max memory of 256MB, chip clock of 400MHz,
    GT: 128 bit memory bus, max memory of 512MB, chip clock of 450Mhz,

    8400 GT is compared to as an underclocked 8600 GS while the GS is referred to as an underclocked 8400 GT
