NVIDIA is a company that builds computer hardware and software. Previously most famous because of their GeForce graphic processors and cards, they have since added the nForce mainboard chipsets to their line.

NVIDIA create their own 'nvidia' Linux drivers for most of their hardware but they are closed-source and, for this reason, most distributions install the open source 'nv' drivers after detecting an NVIDIA card. 'nv' drivers are, according to some, easier to install and more stable, but perform a lot worse with 3D because NVIDIA does not disclose the inner workings of their cards.
