I know this review focuses on M$ performance, but it may help you decide: http://www.tomshardware.com/releases/99q2/990628/g400-02.html From this review it seems that the G400 might eventually be the better card (when there is more software support), but right now the TNT2 Ultra blows it out of the water. But that's for those M$ benchmarks, so I dunno... They do have some screenshots though that might be worth looking at.
