Need to install 9500 GT drivers properly in Snow Leopard

I have been using Snow Leopard for the best part of 3 weeks and in sheer frustration of not being able to get my vga card working I used EFI Studio and installed the 8600 GT 512 mb card boot plist and got everything working. But with it at times I face graphics tearing and artifacts so I wonder how do I go about re-installing the driver for my evga 9500 GT 512 MB card? Step by step instructions will be highly welcomed.

Ram: Corsair 4 GB DDR II 667 MHZ
Mainboard:Intel D946GZIS
Hard-Drive: 80 GB Seagate IDE,320 GB WD SATA II & 160 GB Maxtor SATA II External
VGA: EVGA Geforce 9500 GT DDR II Dual DVI 512 MB

Monitor: ACER AL1717-AS
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer! & Audigy 2 NX USB
Keyboard: Apple Pro USB
Mouse : Logitech MX 500,MX 700 & MX 518 Gaming Grade Optical Mouse.

There are no actual instructions on how to *install* EFI strings, because actually it's just a piece of code that a utility generates for you and puts it into the Boot.plist file.

Altho, if you are using Chameleon, the string needs to be in *it's* Boot.plist (located in /Extra), not in stock Apple's (located in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration).

Grab PC EFI 10.3 and use the graphicsenabler function. No EFI strings required. There are threads on here about it.
