Our Markets
We are focused on markets in which visual computing is important, such as gaming, design and visualization, HPC
and data center, and automotive and smart devices.
Gaming
We focus on open platforms - PCs, mobile devices and the cloud. We build processors to deliver the best graphics for
a great gaming experience, sophisticated 3D software and algorithms that are incorporated into games, and technology that
enables games to be played remotely from the cloud.
Our products for the gaming market include: GeForce GTX GPUs for PC gaming; Tegra processors for mobile devices;
the GRID visual computing appliance, which streams games from the cloud to connected devices; and SHIELD. These
products can be enjoyed independently or in conjunction with each other to connect the gaming experience across platforms.
For example, gamers can use SHIELD to play Android games or stream games from a PC with a GeForce processor; or
they can stream games from a GRID gaming server to their PC or TV.
Design and Visualization
Our strategy is to serve as our customers' most trusted graphics partner, working closely with independent software
vendors to optimize their offerings for NVIDIA GPUs. Our visual computing solutions enhance productivity for critical
parts of the workflow of major industries, ranging from automotive, to film and television broadcast.
Visual computing is vital to productivity in many environments:
• Design and Manufacturing - including computer-aided design, architectural design, consumer-products
manufacturing, medical instrumentation, and science and aerospace
• Media and Entertainment - including professional video editing and movie post production, special effects
for movies and television, advertising, and virtual sets for broadcast
