The gt220 i'm looking at is 1GB ddr2 128 bit. The HD 4670 is 512MB ddr3 128 bit. Which one would be better for gaming???? My setup is athlon 64x2 2gb ddr2 667 ram. And I WAS running an 8600gt, but it overheated now i'm running integrated. My brother usually helps me, but he wont answer my question without saying get a 9600gt. I'm broke and looking for affordable. Something to get me playing Oblivion again. Thanks|||The GDDR3 Radeon 4670.
It's not close, GDDR3 cards are much faster than GDDR2 cards... Yes, the 9600GT is even faster than the 4670, but costs about $20 more.
Here's how they compare in a really high level game (Crysis).

For reference, the GT220 is about 25% faster than a 9500GT.
Oh, having 1gb vs 512mb only matters when running at super-high resolutions, like 2560x1600, so don't be fooled by a slower card with 1gb.|||The Radeon will stomp the GT220, no question. If you look at benchmarks, there's very little difference in performance above 512MB anyway. The 4670 is an excellent choice if you're on a budget.
