Nvidia built up its position as a graphics adapter leader in 1998 with the debut of the RIVA TNT, a PC graphics accelerator chip. The following year, Nvidia revealed the GeForce 256, which brought onboard transformation and lighting to consumer-grade 3D hardware. The corporation also went public that year. Nvidia made several big purchases in the new millennium, including 3dfx, Exluna, MediaQ, iReady, ULI Electronics, Hybrid Graphics, and Ageia.

Nvidia is well known for its professional line of GPUs used in various sectors such as engineering, architecture, entertainment media, manufacturing, and scientific research. The business also creates an API called CUDA, which allows for building massively parallel programs using GPUs. They are used in supercomputing all over the world. Nvidia has expanded into mobile computing, offering automotive navigation systems and mobile CPUs for smartphones and tablets.

Jensen Huang shares in Nvidia currently holds 3.5% of all outstanding shares. In addition, he possesses three million vested restricted stock units.
