Guru3D writes “…… ATI unleashed the Radeon HD 4670. A nice little card that packs some decent punch for the value minded consumers. The Radeon HD 4670 will roughly offer you last year’s mid-range performance at 79 USD. With that amount of performance the card will allow you to flick on 4xAA and 16AF and still play modern games at 1280×1024 and maybe even 1600×1200. And for you as a gamer on a budget, is an immensely interesting fact for your feature and framerate budget. We have a full review on this product……”.

Guru3D had a peek around for an exotic model GeForce 9600 GT. They said: “We ended up with Sparkle and get this; they ask only 99 EUR for their passively cooled product with 512MB GDDR3 memory.

I’m sorry but that’s just a heck of a lot more value than the 9500 GT will offer gaming performance wise. And next to that, as this review will show .. the product has a few surprises ready under it’s sleeves, it’s passively cooled, overclocks like a beast and looks drop-dead gorgeous !” Read the full review here.
