    The 8600M GS will be slightly better, the GT will jump right over it.

    Youll see a noticable difference in the 7600 and the 8600 GS. But more with the GT.

    The 8600 would out perform the 7600 in addition to supporting DX10 and a number of other new technologies. Of course, more details of the cards should be listed before an accurate comparison can be made. And also, both cards will pale when trying to run Crysis.
