Nvidia has grown from a three-person startup to 8,000 staff.

It was 20 years ago this month that three people -- Jen-Hsun Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem -- co-founded Nvidia with venture capital funding from Sequoia Capital. Nvidia's grown by leaps and bounds in the past two decades and now employs over 8,000 individuals situated across more than 40 sites. At Nvidia's headquarters in Santa Clara, a few blocks from where it all started, there's barely a spare desk to be found, the GPU maker says. The solution? Build a new headquarters.

Not quite the fastest single-card, but definitely the fastest Single GPU

On Tuesday we posted our preview of the GK110-based Geforce GTX Titan from Nvidia, and like all of yall we were eager to stuff the Titan into a test system to see what it could do in both single-card and dual-card configurations. Now that the dust has settled and our initial testing is complete, we have to say we think we misunderstood what Nvidia was said to us when we asked them how the Titan compares to the GTX 690. The Titan is one hellishly fast single GPU, but it's not the fastest single-card solution for gaming. That title still rests comfortably with the dual-GPU GTX 690.

The Titan's reduced length makes it an ideal fit for small form factor (SFF) gaming rigs.

Nvidia today unleashed its GeForce GTX Titan graphics card, which is supposed to offer nearly the same performance as its dual-GPU GTX 690 (check out our Titan preview). Equally remarkable is that Nvidia was able to shorten the length of the card by an inch, reduce noise output, and keep temperatures in check. Put it all together and you have a potent card destined for SFF systems, a point that wasn't lost on Digital Storm.

A massive GPU that’ll be hard to find, and even harder to beat

Today Nvidia is pulling the wraps off the GK110-based GeForce GTX Titan, a single-GPU card that is expected to easily capture the title of Baddest Ass GPU in the world when benchmarks are released this Thursday, February 21st. The Titan is Nvidia’s “Big Kepler” GPU, and has double the transistors and almost double the CUDA cores of the mid-range GK104 chip found in its flagship GeForce GTX 680 GPU. Though it runs at a lower clock speed in stock trim, it should still offer a sizable performance improvement over the already capable GTX 680.

Score up to $150 of in-game credit when you buy a GeForce GTX 660 or higher videocard.

Here's an interesting nugget Nvidia dug up to support its latest upgrade promotion. According to the latest Steam hardware survey, 36 million gamers don't own a strong enough graphics card to play World of Tanks, Hawken, or Planetside 2 at 1920x1080 with High settings. The reason Nvidia chose to focus on those three free-to-play (F2P) play titles is because it's offering $75-$150 of in-game credit when you upgrade to a qualifying GeForce graphics card from a participating vendor.
