What is their bestselling product?

Their best selling product is The NVidia GeForce series.
This serie begun on August 31 1999 were the first
GPUs that were designed for use on add-on graphics
board, intended for high-margin PC gaming market.
Later this product-line covered all tiers of the PC
graphics market, from motherboard-integrated GPUs to
retail GPU boards. The name GeForce comes from a
contest held by NVidia in 1999 called Name That
Chip. There were over 12,000 entries which the name
GeForce won. Because this serie is 13 years old they
have made a sub categories which gave the name an
extra word. The categories are:
Business, which uses G and GT in front of the
product number and usually cost under the 100
dollar
Video games, Multimedia, which uses GT and GTS
in front of the product number and usually cost
between 100 and 175 dollar
Enthusiast, which uses GTX in front of the product
number and usually costs more than 175 dollar.
Every product that came out belonged to a serie and
had a number, for example there is graphics card called
the 9600GT which belonged to the 9 series, I will quickly
tell you the series and when they were introduced.

What is the future of the company?

NVidia has gone through some dramatic and bruising
changes but their future looks bright. Since 2010 have
they been developing chips for phones and tablets
which is the Tegra serie that is becoming much more
popular nowadays. On the other hand they have the
Quadro and the Tesla serie which are high-end graphics
cards for business companies which will always need
these graphic cards. And not to forget the GeForce serie
will always exist as gaming will never end. Not too long
ago Intel and NVidia also made an agreement which will
make their future much and much more better. Intel will
put 1,5 billion dollar into NVidia. This will remove
management distraction and help the profits.
