9600GT comes with GDDR3, while HD3870 comes with GDDR4. HD 3870 is around 12k and 9600GT comes for 9~10k.
Actually HD 3870 is supposed to be much cheaper, but the international price cuts dun seems to reflect in Indian market. In newegg, now its for as low as 150$, which is mere 6k!!!
If u gonna buy from India market, then nvidia seems to have beter bang for the buck due to wide availability.

Re: which make of 9600 GT to buy ? - Temperatures
Friends,
After going through innumerous reviews at anandtech,tomshardware,hardocp and legitreviews I feel all 9600 GT cards having marginal performance difference. I have created my personal list with their prices being in shouting distance of each other. These are:
1. EVGA 9600 GT 512 MB KO
2. Palit Sonic 9600 GT 512 MB
3. MSI N9600 GT OC 512 MB
I am willing to sacrifice extra PCI-E slot in exchange for better cooling if possible.
The biggest factor in choosing one over other would be the temperatures. I went through the temps. provided by HardOCP and they are given below for each card. The results show MSI to have the best cooling solution. I expected Palit to have a good temp. reading but it surprisingly is very hot - 70C at full load for memory
All temps in centigrades
Idle Load
EVGA 49C 63C
Palit
GPU 43C 60C
Back of GPU 48C 67C
Memory 47C 70C
MSI
GPU 42C 59C
