The HD 4670 is in good shape in this benchmark, sitting pretty much where you'd expect it to be: tied with its closely-priced rival the 9600 GSO, substantially higher the prior mid-range cards the 8600 GTS and HD2600XT, and relatively close to the 8800GT, which is steadily dropping in price, but not as inexpensive as the HD 4670. 

One very important thing to keep in mind for this benchmark and all the others: our 9600 GSO we are using is the 9600 GSO Sonic Edition. Besides being a bit overclocked, it has 768MB of memory. This card generally sells for about $20 or $30 than stock-clock 9600 GSO's -- just something to keep in mind if you are comparing these two cards specifically in this review.
