Well... its their fault for not coming up with an easier name to pronounce... like ATI, MSI, ABIT, 3Dfx, ATI, etc etc...

We're computer people -- not humans.

read what I said.

I said the "n" in nevada, not the "ne". Its also like the "n" in number (not the "nu" just in case you need that pointed out to you also).

and obviously, it's vidia, not video but apart from the kast syllable the pronounciation is the same.

I'd say En-Vid-E-Ah. Some people say it like gstanfor says it. I dunno, this has been asked before... have we ever got an official word on it? Well with nforce i'd say it en-force, so i figure nvidia would be the same :)

There is only one way to pronounce the letter n, so this excercise of yours is kind of pointless.

If you listen to the "Are you ready?" movies (btw, there's a couple new ones up), they pronounce it "in-vid-ee-uh".
