In 1995, there were over thirty different companies competing with one another to build the best graphics chips for the personal computer. 

Six years later, there would be only three. With one clearly in the lead: Nvidia. 

As of this writing, Nvidia Corporation is the 15th biggest company in the world, worth half a trillion dollars. 

Their graphics cards sell out like gangbusters the second they come onto the market. 

And the company is seeking to buy ARM for $40 billion. 

In this video, we are going to look back into the past and see how a little startup came up from behind everyone else to dominate the graphics card industry on route to being the world-leading tech juggernaut it is today.
