Geforce 9400 cards are in your price range. Just did a quick search on Newegg and they're around $45 to $54. If you look around you might be able to get a Geforce 9500 somewhere for that price.

Both should be a better than what you have now, though.

is 9500 good? what the core clock??

what is the diffrence of gt and none

It's a mid-range budget card. Will perform alright depending on what games you play. Core clock speeds will vary between manufacturers, but you'll be looking at 550MHz and up.

I'm pretty sure the 9500 only comes in the GT flavour, but difference between a GS and GT, for example, the GS might have a few less pixel shaders than the GT and might have lower clock speeds.
