It'd be interesting to know where you bought this card... it's not unknown for people to do the "soft mod" trick.. which basically means they flash a 9500 card's bios with one meant for a 9700.. sometimes it works.. but more often than not it'll exhibit the exact symptoms that meant it was labelled a 9500 in the manufacturing process.
