SANTA CLARA, CA—November 7, 2005—NVIDIA Corporation
(Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in programmable graphics processor
technologies, today announced the immediate availability of the new

to power the holiday’s hottest gaming titles, the new GeForce 6800 GS
has astonishing horsepower and dramatically shifts performance
expectations for graphics cards at midrange price points.
“If you look at the roster of the games anticipated to be hot for the holiday season—including Age of Empires 3, Call of Duty 2, Quake4, or Serious Sam 2—the
