bear, your computer has a CPU bottle neck if your only getting 9000 from 3dbench (im assuming your using madonions benchmark)...i have a 9700 and i get 18000 on the benchmark...i also have 64tap aa, and all that crap on, with curved terrain in renegade and at a 1280 x 1024 resolution and i get a 100fps constant. i get about 70fps in 50 player servers. i used to get crap benchmarks similar to yours, then i got a p4 2ghz CPU and it effectivly doubled my mark. try it. as for the best graphic card, go for the radeon 9700, 400 bucks but its faster than the upcoming Nvidea card (geforce fx).

-edit i saw that you have a 9500 not a 9700...my mistake


Regardless of having a 9500, my cpu is a SEVERE bottleneck and I realize that. I'm just the type of guy who buys a video once every 3 years or so, and so the 9500 Pro was the first upgrade for my Athlon 64 system Smile. The second being the new case and 420W PS I purcahsed today Smile

As for image quality, I'll boot up renegade and take a snap in around the same place that one is to give you an idea.
