8600M GT is my old video card which burned down on my laptop and they changed it to the new one 8400M GS.

I am just wondering how powerful it is. Is it equivalent to 8600 or slightly weaker?

I checked notebookcheck.net

According to it:

The integrated PureVideo engine is one of the advantages of the 8600M GT. It supports (HD) encoding of H.264, VC-1, MPEG2, and WMV9 video content. Compared to the slower 8600M GS (and 8400M series) the 8600M GT supports a few more video features (see comparison chart).

Also, according to the rankings, your old card is a class 3 card but the new one is a class 4.

I would compare the benchmarks between:

and
