Conclusion: AMD have done it again shaking things up heavily in the sub-$100 market. The 4670 not only blows away the GeForce 9500 GT in performance but also in power consumption and tops a Radeon 3850 if falls short of the Radeon 3870. In short this is easily the best card for the target market. That in mind a 9600 GT still easily surpasses this card in performance and isn't much more expensive than a 4670. Still though we expect the price to drop with time and it still outclasses the competition in the market it's aiming for and brings fantastic performance for only $80. Pricing: The 4670 is set to launch at $79 although we don't see cards currently in the market. That sets it at around the cheapest 9500 GT on the market which is quite an excellent value. As said though a GeForce 9600 GT can be had for around $100 so if you can step up a bit it will provide better performance. There is somewhat of a gap in between $80 of the 4670 and $160 of where the 4850 has settled.
