                NVIDIA Announces Conclusion of SEC Investigation

SANTA CLARA, CA - SEPTEMBER 11, 2003 - NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the
worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, today announced that the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has concluded its investigation of
NVIDIA. The SEC and NVIDIA have reached a final agreement resolving an
investigation undertaken by the SEC's staff. That investigation was disclosed by
NVIDIA in February 2002.

As announced by NVIDIA earlier this year, NVIDIA and the SEC staff had reached
an agreement in principle to end the investigation, subject to review and
approval by the SEC. Under the final agreement NVIDIA, while neither admitting
nor denying any wrongdoing, agreed to entry of an administrative cease and
desist order prohibiting any future violations of certain non-fraud financial
reporting, books and records, and internal control provisions of the federal
securities laws. The order has no impact on NVIDIA's reported financial results,
and no penalty or fine has been assessed against the Company.

This order arose out of an inquiry by the SEC regarding certain accounting
matters. That inquiry was announced by NVIDIA on February 14, 2002. In
accordance with the suggestion and advice of the SEC staff, NVIDIA at that time
launched an internal review of the accounting matters. On April 29, 2002, the
Company announced that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors had, with
assistance from outside legal counsel and outside forensic auditors, concluded
its review and determined that it was appropriate to restate NVIDIA's financial
statements for fiscal 2000, 2001 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2002.
NVIDIA cooperated with the SEC throughout this process.
