NVIDIA History
In early 2000, NVIDIA released the world's fastest workstation GPU: QuadroNVIDIA, which won the Microprocessor Report Analysts' Choice Award: Best 3D accelerator. Later, NVIDIA was selected by Microsoft as the designated graphics processing unit for the X-Box game console, and successively released the world's first graphics processing unit that can color each rendering line: GeForce2 GTS and the mainstream graphics processing unit GeForce2 MX. In June 2000, NVIDIA was named the world's number one semiconductor company by Business Week. Subsequently, it released the world's fastest workstation graphics processing unit: Quadro2 Pro, high-end professional workstation graphics processing unit: Quadro2 MXR, and the first gigapixel graphics processing unit (GPU): GeForce2 Ultra. In September 2000, NVIDIA was recognized as one of the fastest growing technology companies in Silicon Valley.
In 2001, NVIDIA was named the most respected semiconductor company with the best financial management by FSA. And soon became the world's fastest semiconductor company to reach a turnover of US$1 billion. During this year, GeForce3's 3D graphics technology won the Most Innovative Award from Game Development Magazine and was named the most respected and financially managed semiconductor company by FSA. In November 2001, NVIDIA's GeForce3 graphics processing unit (GPU) was named the most innovative product of 2001 by Computer Display World Magazine. The graphics processing unit (GPU) produced by it was selected into the top ten list of

2003 was the year that NVIDIA launched the most new display chips in its history: NV30, NV31, NV34, NV35, NV36, and NV38. Six products appeared on the market one after another. The NV30, the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra, which had been delayed for a long time at the beginning of the year, was launched on the market, but it quickly and quietly exited the market due to various factors (its variant Quadro FX for the professional field is worthy of praise for its various new features and strong performance). This is NVIDIA An important factor in accelerating the launch of new products. The subsequent GeForce FX 5900 Ultra (NV35) showed a mature style, and its performance was greatly improved, which to a certain extent changed the situation in which ATi dominated the high-end market. At the same time, NVIDIA launched a simplified version of GeForce FX 5900 SE with outstanding cost performance during the summer, filling its product gap in the 1,500 to 2,000 yuan market.
In 2004, nVIDIA made a series of moves. After releasing a series of drivers for the nForce chipset, it also brought the Forceware 56.72 driver. The file generation date of this driver is 03/24/2004. It supports the full range of nVIDIA graphics cards, and this driver has passed Microsoft WHQL certification, ensuring the stability and compatibility of the Windows platform, plus ForceWare55 A series of enhanced functions of the series driver: support DirectX9.0, support OpenGL1.5, support independent adjustment and archiving of 3D attributes of each application, built-in version 3.5 of nVIEW multi-display technology supports IE advertising window blocking function, and supports display of Gridlines technology, supporting HDTV output of 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. Therefore, we recommend that friends using nVIDIA graphics cards update this driver.
