NVIDIA SHOWCASES CUTTING-EDGE PRODUCTS AT IDF
Chief Scientist David Kirk to Speak on Recent Graphics Innovations

IDF-SAN FRANCISCO, CA-SEPTEMBER 7, 2004-NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq:
NVDA), a worldwide leader in graphics and digital media processors,
today announced it will showcase a full line-up of products and
technologies at the Intel Developers Forum (IDF). The demonstrations,
which include PCI Express-compatible solutions from NVIDIA, highlight
the Company's technology leadership.

Additionally, NVIDIA Chief Scientist David Kirk will deliver a
presentation on recent innovations in computer graphics. Mr Kirk's
presentation is today at 11:00am, Room 303, Moscone Center, and is open
to all conference attendees including the media.

"Technology innovations from NVIDIA - such as MXM, the unified PCI
Express-compliant interface for notebook graphics - are helping to fuel
demand for the PCI Express bus. We believe our new SLI Multi-GPU
solution is the PCI Express 'killer app.' IDF is a perfect place to
showcase this cutting-edge technology," commented Michael Diamond,
director of strategic marketing for NVIDIA.

NVIDIA, a Gold Sponsor of the event, will show the following
demonstrations in booth no 304:

The Hottest Game of the Year
NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) deliver unrivalled performance
for id Software's Doom3, one of the most anticipated computer games in
history. Attendees will be able to experience the exhilaration that is
sweeping the gaming community.

Virtual Sets for Film Production
Brainstorm, Encodacam, and NVIDIA will demonstrate how NVIDIA Quadro(r)
FX 4000 SDI makes virtual sets for broadcast and film - including the
movie "I, Robot" - become a reality.

Powerful Flight Simulation Technology
Aechelon Technology, Inc. and NVIDIA will demonstrate an ultra
high-resolution, full-mission flight training system with unprecedented
image quality and performance. The demo runs on a PCI Express-based
pC-NOVA(tm) v3.0 image generation system, using the power of two
Intel(r) Xeon(tm) processors, the Intel E7525 chipset, and NVIDIA(r)
SLI(tm) (Scalable Link Interface) Multi-GPU technology.

Additionally, NVIDIA will showcase the following:
NVIDIA PCI Express Solutions
NVIDIA will display its complete line-up of PCI Express computing
solutions including the top-to-bottom family of PCI Express-enabled
GeForce(tm) GPUs for desktop PCs, PCI Express-enabled NVIDIA Quadro GPUs
for workstation PCs and PCI Express-enabled NVIDIA GeForce Go GPUs for
notebook computers. These products recently passed rigorous testing by
the PCI-SIG and were added to the PCI-SIG Integrators List.

NVIDIA SLI Multi-GPU Technology
NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology is a hardware and
software solution that enables system builders to connect two PCI
Express-based NVIDIA GeForce 6 Series or NVIDIA Quadro GPUs in a single
system. The patent-pending technology works by intelligently scaling
geometry and fill rate performance for two GPUs to achieve a stunning
increase in graphics performance.

MXM(tm)
The Mobile PCI Express Module specification (MXM) was jointly designed
by NVIDIA and the industry's leading notebook PC manufacturers to create
a consistent graphics interface that will accelerate the time to market
for PCI Express-based notebooks. By allowing for a single motherboard
design to be leveraged into multiple notebooks, MXM can support a wide
range of graphics solutions, from any hardware manufacturer, enabling
integrators to build their systems to order. MXM can also be used to
upgrade notebook PC graphics. MXM will be demonstrated on the Intel
Alviso mobile chipset at IDF.

GeForce 6 Video Processing
NVIDIA GeForce 6-based products are the first GPUs to feature a
dedicated on-chip video processor that brings consumer
electronics-quality video to the personal computer.
