Hi, I have a Gigabyte ga-g41 mts2pt motherboard on which I'm running a Gigabyte make 7790hd (1gb) graphics card. I'm thinking of swapping it for a gigabyte gtx750ti 2gb graphics card. I want to ask whether the gtx750ti is better and if I should change my existing card for this model?

Tom's Hardware - Benchmark 29 Noise Maximum
I don't think you should make the change unless you manage to sell your GPU for a good price (around 90$ - you could dot it at ebay specially if you put an option to ship for any country in the world)
The performance gain is too small to justify an 140$ investment. If you want to see real performance improvement you should get an AMD r9 (but they have high power consumption) or and GTX 960 (better option)

If I understood correctly the OP was going to swap his card for another one without having to pay anything. Did I get that correctly? Otherwise it is not much of an upgrade.
You guessed it well, given that I don't have any funds for a better card, I have to pay very little for this swap and I get a card with fresh warranty.
But, if you were to compare both the cards, which is better? My existing card or the one I'm swapping for?

The 750 Ti is the overall faster card, although they perform really close to each other in most games. The performance gap between it and your current card will depend on the game. In the titles that favors nVidia GPUs like Bioshock Infinite, it will be a rather large performance gap, in the titles that favors AMD GPUs like Company Of Heroes 2 your current card will be faster by a bit of a margin. You can take a look at the benchmarks here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7764/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-review-maxwell/11 The R7 260x in the charts is a rebranded HD 7790 eg; they are the exact same card with a the R7 260x having more recent features that don't influence performance. So it is all up to you really, whether if you feel like the performance difference in the games that favors the GTX 750Ti is worth it or not.
Oh also I forgot to mention that the 2 GBs VRAM of the GTX 750Ti may come in handy in the future, a lot of new games are using a lot of VRAM and the limitation of VRAM on your current HD 7790 will bottleneck its performance.
An important question though, what is the brand of the GTX 750Ti you were going to swap your card for? Does it come with a power connector? If it does that would be great news, these nVidia Maxwell chips are great overclockers.

Well, I'm going for the Gigabyte make GTX 750 Ti (2gb) card as I've noticed that gigabyte cards (and HIS) work exceptionally well on my motherboard. As far as the power connector is concerned, I don't think it has one (then again I'm not really sure) - I try avoiding over clocking because as it is I live 10 minutes away from the sea, and humidity has been my biggest enemy when it comes to making my components last.
