'Forcing' the Issue: NVIDIA Girds for PCB Challenges

摘要

CircuiTree first covered NVIDIA in our November 2001 issue because of the dynamic (and for board fabricators, lucrative) nature of the graphics card market. This market is driven by both video display and computer gaming's rise to entertainment prominence. As most people with kids can tell you, the electronic gaming industry has only become more popular with every passing year. Games like Halo, Doom, and Battlefield are now topics for discussion not only on the playground but also around the water-cooler. Sony's Playstation III, Ninteno's Revolution and Microsoft's Xbox 360 will be found right next to the DVD player, digital video recorder (DVR) and television in many American living rooms.
