Die US-Presseinformation im Wortlaut:

NVIDIA REPORTS RECORD REVENUE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2007

SANTA CLARA, CA-AUGUST 11, 2006 – NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today
reported its revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 ended July 30,
2006.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, revenue increased to a record $687.5 million, compared to $574.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, an increase of 20 percent. Revenue for the six months ended July 30, 2006 was a record $1.37 billion, compared to revenue of $1.16 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2005, an increase of 18 percent.

„We are delighted to deliver another record quarter,“ stated Jen-Hsun Huang,
president and CEO of NVIDIA. „Our growth was driven by strong performance
from numerous product groups – desktop GPU, notebook GPU, MCP, professional
solutions and handheld GPU. As the industry continues to shift its focus to
the multimedia experience for consumers, the GPU is becoming increasingly
important in a broad range of computing and consumer devices. We are excited
about our growth opportunities ahead.“

NVIDIA also announced today that the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors is conducting a voluntary review of the Company’s stock option
practices covering the time from the Company’s initial public offering in
1999 through the current fiscal year. The Audit Committee is conducting this
review with the assistance of outside legal counsel. The Company has
voluntarily contacted the Securities and Exchange Commission staff to inform
them about the ongoing review.

Although the review is ongoing, the Audit Committee has reached a
preliminary conclusion that incorrect measurement dates were used for
financial accounting purposes for stock option grants in certain prior
periods. As a result, NVIDIA may record additional non-cash stock-based
compensation expense related to stock option grants. Any additional non-cash
stock-based compensation expense recorded will not affect the Company’s cash
position or reported revenue for the recently completed quarter or any
previous periods.

NVIDIA does not expect to be in a position to announce additional financial
results for the second quarter until the Audit Committee has completed its
review. At this time, the Company does not expect to be in a position to
file its Form 10-Q for the second fiscal quarter by the September 8, 2006
filing deadline or the permitted extension to September 13, 2006.
