How do you guys pronounce NVIDIA?


I pronounce it en-vid-ee-ah because its the proper way, feels more natural, and for purely logical reasons the name is actually nVIDIA, where the small 'n' stands for nanometer and VIDIA means knowledge/wisdom so its a compound of the two, hence the pronunciation of en-vid-ee-ah. nuh-vidia is akin to someone pronouncing AMD like the word "and"...

 

seriously though thats just a bunch of bs I pulled from my rear, nuh-vidia sounds slightly low-brow is why I say en-vid-ee-ah

Why is this a question? We know it's supposed to be pronounced "envidia". This is what everyone in tech calls them, this is what was said in older nvidia supported games... I never even heard anyone say "nividia", it just sounds retarded, and is not at all a logical pronunciation imo.

whoah you guys throw a E before nvidia? 

 

the best is how people say ASUS. 

I prefer saying ASUS as Ace-us, but ASUS put out a couple videos and what-not of how they want you to say it. The first was Uh-SOOS, then they said Ace-SOOS, and then that it's the same sound as the end of pegASUS. So I take all of that as "Call us what ever you want!"

Well according to Nvidia Wikipedia article, officially it is pronounced 'in-VID-eeə'

 

I don't actually have one way of pronouncing it I seem to switch between in-vidia and neh-vidia. I know I am a horrible, horrible person.
