April 8, 201016 yr You'd want your motherboard to have at least one x16 slot, for maximum bandwidth. I'm pretty sure those x38 boards do have that.As for comparing cards, you might try this tool:http://emsai.net/reviews/gpu/Example, i put a 9800GTX in the top slot, and a GTX 260 in the bottom. It shows a difference of around +27% in favor of the 260. I've found this chart to be generally in the ball park on getting an idea of the differences in video card power. i7-920 @ 3.2ghz | 6GB OCZ DDR3 @ 1600 mhz | GTX 580 1.5 GB | 1TB WD; 750GB WD | X-Fi Audio | 24" Dell LCD | X52 Flight Controller | REX-GEX-UTX-FTX
