I couldn't find much either. But I did see a comparison that showed the 8600gts being somewhat equal to the 7950gt. Then, another comparison showing the 7950gt being about equal to the 7800gtx.

So, they're actually pretty close in their replacement. Beyond the 8600gts is the 8800gts 320, which beats the heck outta the 8600gts. IMO, because of the issues, they should want to help out their customer in trouble, and should provide you with the 8800gts 320. However, because of what I can see in the benches, the 8600gts is a better fit.

Well, the only help I can be is provide these two links, again, not a direct comparison.
Essentailly, the closest competitor in Anandtech's review is a 7900GS, using the second link you can compare a 7900GS to a 7800 GTX (256 or 512)

Also, would help to know if this was the original 256MB 7800 GTX or the 512 version...512 had a slightly different core and was generally more powerful.

Also, would need to know what resolution you play at. From what I can tell, even at 1024x768 an 8600 GT still doesn't measure up to a 7800 GTX, but at higher resolutions, it will fall off dramatically due to the 128-bit memory bus.

Oh, and one last thing... your title mentions the 8600 GTS, but your body text says 8600 GT. While there is not a major difference between the two, the GTS is more powerful.

Good luck!
