NVIDIA specializes in the manufacture of graphics-processor technologies. Based in Santa Clara, California, the company’s most notable products include the GeForce GPU’s for gaming and the Quadro series for graphics processing on professional basis.
Some early history:
In the early years of gaming everything was 2D, a good example being Doom, and Decent. This is were NVIDIA steps in. With the release of 3D acceleration videocard manufactures started to spring up, namely NVIDIA and it's then rival 3dfx. NVIDIA's first porduct, the NV1, was a quadratic surface based card. The card was developed with a integrated sound card, and game ports for Segas Saturn's gamepads. Although the NV1 wasn't a complete success, it wasn't a failure at all, so NVIDIA continued expansion on the quadratic surface design, and dubbed it the NV2. In mid-design of the NV2 Mircosoft released DirectX, a ploygon based API (Application Programming Interfaces). This directly conflicted with NVIDIA's thoughts that quadratic surfaces where the way to go, and with the combination of this and Sega's abondoning of quadratic surface theorys NVIDIA switched game plans. This switch came with the intoduction of the RIVA 128 and it's future brothers.NVIDIA later goes on to develop the RIVA TNT, and then RIVA TNT2. With the success of these products NVIDIA took the next step, and aquired it's rival 3dfx (Voodoo Graphics). This wasn't the last step for NVIDIA, as they moved on the aquire other industry leading companies like ULi Electronics, and Ageia Technologies (AGEIA PhsyX).
With a revenue reaching as high as $4.1 Billion NVIDIA is going strong with it's production of Motherboard, Videocard, portable music player, and phsyics chips and chipsets. Now the leading developer in graphics card, and motherboard designs it's hard to see NVIDIA being taken down anytime soon.
