Ahh, well, there's no real performance equivalent between desktop and mobile cards, it really doesn't work that way. The desktop 8600GT will be the closest equivalent, and should have a fairly constant lead on the 8600M-GT in pretty much all situations.

Re: Geforce 8400GS vs Desktop 7300GT
Also seems the mobile gpu drivers are not as optimized as the desktop ones...
Nvidia do not release official drivers for mobile, and modified ones are not as optimized, sometimes causing me problems with CPU overloading frequently when playing games, even with a C2D 7300 2.0GHz!!

Re: Geforce 8400GS vs Desktop 7300GT

Re: Geforce 8400GS vs Desktop 7300GT
I think the 8600MGT would be closer to a 7600GT in terms of performance.
The 7300GT will definitely out perform the 8400GS, especially if its a ddr3 model which can be oc'd to reach 7600GT levels (in performance terms). It was the best budget card to hit the shelves in ages I think.
Planet I don't think thats a problem with the optimised drivers. Pretty much everyone here uses optimised drivers! I do, on a 1.66Ghz Core Duo, and I've never once experienced a CPU 'overload' on any game I play using various sets of drivers.

Re: Geforce 8400GS vs Desktop 7300GT
Strange, what could be the problem?
I have often seeing framerate drop drastically and stuttering whenever both cores of CPU hits 99-100% during gameplay, e.g in WIC, Broken-sword...

Re: Geforce 8400GS vs Desktop 7300GT
And that's the desktop card, not the mobile one. The question here was the mobile 8400GS vs the desktop 7300GT 
Plus, the 8 series are strong in synthetic benchmarks, which can be misleading in relation to gaming performance.
