nVIDIA is a computer company well known for their GeForce line of graphics chips (they only make the chips and sell it to card vendors) and nForce line of high performance chipsets. nVIDIA had the reputation of being the leader in the graphics section, although their rival ATi has quickly closed the gap in recent years and now the two companies are locked in a never ending graphics war, with both sides briefly getting an upper hand here and there.

Tech company that advertises 3.5GB video cards as 4 GB cards.

The desktop graphics card monopoly has been since broken by rival company, AMD.

Nvidia however, to its credit, does offer excellent graphics and processor chips for mobile devices, best seen in their own Android Tablet, the Nvidia Shield.

Nvidia is also rumored to be powering the upcoming Nintendo console, codename NX, where usually AMD makes graphics chips for consoles.
"If Nintendo's new handheld is powered by Tegra from Nvidia, then we can finally expect HD graphics on a Nintendo handheld."

nVidiAIDS 

A terminal illness resulting stemming from poor graphics hardware choice, symptoms include:

-spontaneous house fires, resulting from tasks ranging from driver updates, to simply turning on the afflicted computer

-requiring no less than 4 video cards priced at $599.99 to play farmville 3d at an acceptable framerate

-an unhealthy desire to have neon lights, blatantly homosexual green orcs or army mans all over your electronic equipment

-a sudden reverent, deep faith in grandiose acronyms without knowing what they mean or do (16xTMSGRSDSAA, Fermi, PhysX being examples)

-a urgent need to pay off any nearby game developers to plaster 3 minute long logo videos to their games startup, and beg them to optimize for your vastly inferior hardware (How They're Meant to be Paid)

-chronic wood screws, pork shoulders and 1.7% yield with delays

Treatment can be administered at your local ATI/AMD dealer.
"Oh hell Dave dropped out of the game again, said that his GeeFarce 590GTXOCD Super Turbo Tournament Edition HD Remix cooked his dog when it walked by the computer. RIP Barkley, another tragic victim of nVidiAIDS."

Getting Nvidia'd

A term used by the group of youtubers and streamers who play Minecraft for the "Mianite" series where an item (typically from a mod) toggles their graphics card (made by Nvidia) to crash their game and cause frustrating feelings within them.
