Huang Renxun, Chris Marakovsky, and Katis Prim founded NVIDIA (later a Delaware enterprise) in January 1993 in California, USA. NVIDIA remained low-key until 1997-1998, when it released the RIVA personal computer graphics processor product line. It was listed on Nasdaq in January 1999; In May of the same year, the first ten million drawing processors were sold. In 2000, it acquired the intellectual property rights of the first generation king 3dfx. 3dfx was one of the largest graphics processor manufacturers in the mid-1990s. NVIDIA has established close relationships with many OEM manufacturers and organizations. In February 2002, NVIDIA sold its first billion graphics processors.

NVIDIA and AMD supply most of the independent graphics cards in the market. NVIDIA's most famous GeForce graphics processor product line debuted in 1999. The GeForce product line has been expanded to cover desktop and mobile computers. In terms of handheld devices, NVIDIA has a Tegra product line. It can provide high efficiency while maintaining low power consumption. This type of product is typically used for wireless communication devices.
