OR

Gigabyte Radeon HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I (60$)

Any comments ?

The HD4670 is a good bit better than the 512MB version of the 9600 GSO. Nvidia has a habit of giving new names to old cards but in this case they changed the card while keeping the name the same. The new card is significantly inferior(half the stream processors, a slight bump in clock speed) and it's one of the more misleading moves the company has pulled off in a while.
The 384MB(or 768MB) version of the 9600 GSO is on par with with the 4670 at stock and usually overclocks very well to the point where I'd say it's the better choice from a pure performance perspective. However the HD4670 is significantly smaller, cooler and more power efficient so really it's a judgment call.

HD 4670 is faster.

HD 4670!

I believe that card has a Sims 3 benchmark on youtube. It runs it well and you should definitely get it.

definately the 4670.
newer architecture (like an updated downgraded 3870 kinda), more memory, and probably overclocks better.

im sure crossfire offers great results too

The HD 3870 is a good bit stronger card than either of the one's the O.P. listed. Best deal so far in this thread. The HD 4670 is on par with an HD 3850.
