NOFX it's mostly what ur lookin for. Ti4600 or higher kill the 9500, just take a look man. Even in some cases over the 9700pro.

The Ti series of cards is very good, and you get alot of bang for your buck.
1 of my friends has a 9500pro and another has a Ti4800. The 4800 crushes it in bench marks.....odviously, and its a bueatiful card. Its pretty much all your lookin for.
