'GeForce 3 was such a transition for us': Nvidia's Jensen Huang looks back on 25 years of the classic graphics card

Launching in 2001, Nvidia's GeForce 3 series marked an important step for Nvidia, according to CEO Jensen Huang. In a YouTube video, Huang celebrates the 25-year anniversary by waxing lyrical about the card and what it means for the company.

"GeForce 3 was such a transition for us," Huang says.

"We introduced really the first successful mainstream graphics accelerator, Riva 128 and subsequently Riva TNT, Riva TNT2, and what we did well was recognising the graphics pipeline is really deep.
