I compare Gigabyte cards 9500GT and 9800GT with 512MB RAM DDR3 both:
Efficiency of 9800GT is two-three times better than 9500GT with results:
3D Mark: 2x more than 9500GT
GPU score: 3x more than 9500GT
On hi-res games:
9800GT has 2x better result with FPS (no FSAA/no AF)
... and 2x / 3x better result with FPS (FSAA/AF)
2x for high res more than 1680x1050 / 3x for 1280x1024
PT Boats: Knight of the Sea 1280x1024
FSAA 4x / AF 16x:
9500GT - 11.7 FPS
9800GT - 28.6 FPS
(all data: non-english source)
Summary:
On my market 9800GT is only 1.5 more expensive than 9500GT.
But 9800GT is 2x / 3x more efficient than 9500GT.
So, this is reason than 9800GT is better than 9500GT (Gigabyte with 512MB both)

EDIT: then i'll add in the price difference which is a 9500gt 1gb card goes between $60-$75 where a 9800gt 1gb card goes for $100-$115
