LONDON - MAY 14th 2003 - NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, and Contraband Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled Abducted, a new PC game that wraps cutting-edge technology around a harrowing science fiction storyline to deliver an engaging cinematic gaming experience. Debuting at this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Abducted takes advantage of the ultimate gaming platform
- PCs powered by NVIDIA® GeForce(tm) FX 5900 and NVIDIA nForce(tm)2 Ultra 400 graphics and platform processors - to achieve dramatic Hollywood-quality visual effects and character animations, the hallmark of future-generation gaming experiences.

Abducted relies on technology features and effects enabled by the GeForce FX family of GPUs to engulf gamers in a dark and mysterious alien world. Based on a proprietary 3D engine developed by Contraband Entertainment, Abducted harnesses the rich feature set and raw performance of GeForce FX and the NVIDIA Cg high-level shading language to create state-of-the-art real-time lighting, dynamic shadowing and advanced rendering techniques like never before seen.

"NVIDIA's Ultra Shadow technology enabled by GeForce FX GPUs has allowed us to create the look and feel of Abducted exactly how we envisioned it," said Bill Heineman, principal of Contraband Entertainment. "We're pleased to have teamed with NVIDIA to mark the first public showing of Abducted."

"We've been working closely with the team at Contraband to ensure they are able to achieve their artistic vision for Abducted and have been wowed by the results," said Bill Rehbock, director of developer relations at NVIDIA. "With GeForce FX and software tools such as Cg, developers are able to create intense visual effects unique for PC gaming and catapult us into the new cinematic gaming era."

Abducted is currently on display this week in the NVIDIA booth (South Hall
1636) at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. A publisher for the title has not yet been announced. For more information about Abducted, log onto http://www.contrabandent.com.
