When NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 750 Ti this month it convinced us to give this highly efficient graphics card a chance to upgrade some off-the-shelf, under powered PCs. In a story that we published just a week ago, we were able to convert three pretty basic and pretty boring computers into impressive gaming PCs by adding in the $150 Maxwell-based graphics card.
If you missed the video we did on the upgrade process and results, check it out here.
Now we are going to give our readers the chance to do the same thing to their PCs. Do you have a computer in your home that is just not up to the task of playing the latest PC games? Then this contest is right up your alley.
Prizes: 1 of 5 GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Cards
Your Task: You are going to have to do a couple of things to win one of these cards in our "Upgrade Story Giveaway." We want to make sure these cards are going to those of you that can really use it so here is what we are asking for (you can find the form to fill out right here):
- Show us your PC that is in need of an upgrade! Take a picture of your machine with this contest page on the screen or something similar and share it with us. You can use Imgur.com to upload your photo if you need some place to put it. An inside shot would be good as well. Place the URL for your image in the appropriate field in the form below.
- Show us your processor and integrated graphics that need some help! That means you can use a program like CPU-Z to view the processor in your system and then GPU-Z to show us the graphics setup. Take a screenshot of both of these programs so we can see what hardware you have that needs more power for PC gaming! Place the URL for that image in the correct field below.
- Give us your name and email address so we can contact you for more information if you win!
- Leave us a comment below to let me know why you think you should win!!
- Subscribing to our PCPer Live! mailing list or even our PCPer YouTube channel wouldn't hurt either…
That's pretty much it! We'll run this promotion for 2 weeks with a conclusion date of March 13th. That should give you plenty of time to get your entry in.
Good luck!!

I have a fx4100 and it runs
I have a fx4100 and it runs 100% 12-18hours a day. Will this card help me fold faster?
I had a single slot graphics
I had a single slot graphics card that just died and cannot play anything with igpu. It was not a big deal of a card but at least i had some action for 2 years. I love this new generation of video cards and i would be more than thankful if i would win one. Gaming is relaxing for me, if i can’t game i will be mad every day. Thank you for the contest.
Long story short because i
Long story short because i really need to upgrade my pc, but simply can’t save enough and since my current system is 6 year old and ddr2 based with ide odd i need every single part. This vga would be huge help. Thanks for the chance!

Thanks to this contest . I
Thanks to this contest . I cant even play the very oldest games in intel hd 2000 .Even Age of Empires 3 cant run smoothly. Assassin’s Creed 4 only gets an FPS of 5-8 with the lowest settings . I always wanted to buy a graphic card but i cant afford one .
I hope I get picked. A8-6600k
I hope I get picked. A8-6600k with 8gb of ram and nothing else. Man, I wish i could see what its like to get more than 30 fps at 720p.
I wish I were currently using
I wish I were currently using an A8, right now I stuck with an A4.

Why do I think I should win?!
Why do I think I should win?! Well, I’m sick and tired of having to rely on this GT 240 to play games on low at 1280×720, it’s sad and extremely limits the type of games I can play. It’s even more sad that I can’t purchase a better graphics card because I have things I need to worry about, and those things have nothing to do with gaming unfortunately. It’d be a blessing to get back into my hobby.
I believe I made a pretty solid case for winning one in the “Why do you want this upgrade”.
This would be the perfect
This would be the perfect upgrade for my PC. I have mostly all low to mid tier components, including a 460W power supply and an Intel i5 4430 CPU. All I’m missing is a video card to hopefully provide my computer with a well needed FPS boost when playing games. According to the graph provided above, a GTX 750 Ti could blow my HD 4600 graphics out of the water, with almost 7 times the FPS! I would be thrilled if I could see those results on my computer! Anyways, thanks for providing us with this great giveaway.

My system was fun in the day,
My system was fun in the day, but has aged to be an old man. I would dig being able to play games once again at a minimum. I think my rig just barely qualifies for this contest; thankfully it does have a PCI-E 16x slot, but the processor (Athlon 64 X2 4400+) and video card (Leadtek 7600 GT) are walking around with canes in this once proud Shuttle SN25P. Due to long term illness, I’ve been unable to afford much in the way of computer equipment, and would welcome a new piece of kit to keep me in the computer world.
Thought of another reson to
Thought of another reson to pick me i fold everynight =D

I really won’t to win because my sister just got a brand new computer and I have wanted to play with her for a will but don’t have the money to upgrade or buy a new graphics card I get 10-15fps on the lowest setting on very weak games
