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.

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.

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.

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

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 By today's standards, 9600GSO is officially DEAD, USELESS, OUTDATED and POWERHUNGRY.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.

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:

Now THAT's the reason people recommend 9600GT.
