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.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

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.

A reincarnation of SGI, consisting of most of the 3D Chip designers that worked for the then-juggernaut of the 3D rendering industry. They primarily make Graphics Cards that a console would only have wet dreams about, including the GeForce GTX 10 series, which you'll commonly see on any streamer or professional gamer's hardware specs, even though their more powerful cards are ridiculously expensive.
They also have other graphics cards for more than just gaming, like the Quadro graphics cards, which is used more for working with CAD, CGI, and DCC, or the Titan V, which is practically a supercomputer's wet dream.
