The order goes like this-

9600GT>4670>9500GT

The cheapest 9600GT is that of Xpertvision. It's tough to find one here, though.
Other than this, the Zotac 9600GT is a great buy.

+1.

9600GT performs somewhat better than HD4670 but 4670 was never meant to compete with 9600GT. It was made to compete with 9500GT :).

I Agree With Psych. And Advise A Palit 9600GT 512MB For Rs. 6600.00 In Delhi. The Card Gives Hardcore Value For Money.

9500 GSO totally unfit for GAMING. Go for 9600 GT or 8600GT from XFX or Palit. Sufficient for you.

9600GSO is better than HD4670

HD4670 SUCKS BIG TIME against 9600Gxx

U get XpertVision from lynx-india for 6-6.2k with delivery and VAT(already added)

Some 8600GTs are retailing for as low as 3k... so at that price, they definitely are VFM.

Reviews state otherwise. Many times, HD4670 is stronger than or equal to 9600GSO, with only very few benchmarks going in favour of 9600GSO.

But yes, in today's world, it makes little sense to buy either 9600GSO or HD4670 when 9600GT costs a few 100s of rupees extra and offers much better performance. HD4650 may be there since its one of the most powerful passively cooled cards which also draws less power - ideal for HTPCs, but I am not sure about HD4670's role in the market. Its quite niche IMO.

while the nvidias conume atleast twice as much..with not exactly twice the performance

9600GT performs somewhat better than HD4670 but 4670 was never meant to compete with 9600GT. It was made to compete with 9500GT :).
Actually, the HD4670 was made to compete against 9600GSO. The problem for AMD is, they never expected that 9600GT would occupy the price point which 9600GSO once occupied. By today's standards, 9600GSO is officially DEAD, USELESS, OUTDATED and POWERHUNGRY.

For competing with 9500GT, there is actually NO card from AMD. All cards are slightly below or slightly above it. Infact, there are HARDLY any competing cards between the two companies in the low end to mid range segment.
get a load of this:
when idle the 4670 eats just 18 watts n under load max 58 watts....
while the nvidias conume atleast twice as much..with not exactly twice the performance

Thats why I said HD4670 is for a special niche market who prefer power efficiency along with performance, though performance needn't be top notch. While HD4670 is the best performer for its price, and price to performance ratio of HD4670 is AS GOOD AS 9600GT, it definitely makes a lot of sense for gamers to spend just Rs. 800 extra and get a TRUE gaming card, like the 9600GT.

My prediction: HD4670 is going to do wonders in the laptop market, when it goes mobile.

Edit: Take a look at this guys:
*lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=2628
Now THAT's the reason people recommend 9600GT.

9600GTdoes give about 2x performance

and 2x Overclocking(it hits 9800GTX like performance if u r n xperienced OCer)

Nov 22, 2008 at 9:24 PM
^^Isnt it out of his budget ? If he is ready to extend his budget, then definitely 9600GT but otherwise, HD4670. BTW, we debated soo much. The OP never replied :).
comp@ddict
Nov 22, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Okay luk now

HD4650 @ 4.8k
HD4670 @ 5.4k

These have a performance difference which is negligible.

9600GT @ 6.2k

I wud say, the xtra 0.8k will be very very productive, and even more, cuz as I said earlier, an OCed 9600GT performs like a 9800GTX, if not 9800GTX+.

Nov 22, 2008 at 9:48 PM
^^What I am trying to tell is the OP is not responding in any manner so we dont know if he can extend his budget or not. In some cases, people even refuse to pay .5k more! And what if his PSU is not powerful enough to handle the 9600GT ? There are many things to look at. All we need is the OP, who is stuck in 8th grade to reply!

simple 9600 is faster than 4670 even at default.if overclocked its more faster.4670-100 so 9600-125@ default.if OC 9600-135 to 150

Wrong. 9500GT costs Rs. 3,300 (XpertVision 512MB) while the cheapest 9600GT is again XpertVision 512MB, which costs Rs. 6,030.
