 | | NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) is a major supplier of graphics processors (graphics processing units, GPUs), graphics cards, and media and communications devices for PCs and game consoles such as the original Xbox and the new upcoming 'next generation' PlayStation 3. |
 | | NVIDIA purchased 3dfx primarily for the intellectual property which was in dispute at the time, but also acquired anti-aliasing expertise, and about 100 engineers, who subsequently worked extensively on development of the ill fated FX series, to some minds proving 3dfx lacked the expertise to develop high performance integrated cores. |
 | | NVIDIA's fightback began with the GeForce 6 series, which addressed the key issues that had plagued the FX series, namely shader performance and power consumption. |
