LONDON - SEPTEMBER 11th, 2003 - NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the
worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, today announced that
Business 2.0 magazine has ranked the company as the fourth fastest-growing
technology company in the annual B2 100 List. The B2 100 will be featured in
the October 2003 issue of the magazine.

Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer, NVIDIA Corporation, commented:
"NVIDIA's market leadership position is a result of our commitment to
constant innovation and our focus on excellence. We have a great team of
employees whose creativity and work ethic has led us to the top of our
industry. Our success is a result of their vision, passion and determination
to build one of the most influential technology companies in the world."

To make the B2 100, companies had to meet rigorous financial requirements.
The list of 100 was winnowed down from an original group of 2,000
publicly-traded tech firms. Criteria for making the final list included at
least three years of trading on a major U.S. stock exchange, at least $50
million in annual revenue and positive cash flow over the most recently
reported 12 months. Business 2.0 editors then ranked the companies with the
help of Zacks Investment Research of Chicago, using a combination of four
financial criteria: growth in revenue, profit and operating cash flow during
the past three years and the 12-month stock return. Cash flow growth counted
for 40 percent of a company's ranking; each of the other criteria counted
for 20 percent.

In announcing this year's list, Business 2.0 editor Josh Quittner observed
that "companies on the 2003 B2 100 have shown remarkable results in a most
challenging business environment. But what the list shows is who to watch,
who to watch out for and what we can learn from the leaders. Technology is
alive and well, as proven by the performance of these companies."
