NVIDIA is a fabless company (chips are made elsewhere) that is known worldwide for its advanced graphics technologies. NVIDIA chips with brand names such as GeForce, Quadro, Vanta and RIVA are built into the display adapters of dozens of peripheral product companies as well as in PDAs and cellphones.
