Posted May 7, 2015 So not sure if anyone else knows since it's not mentioned, at least I haven't seen it mentioned, but Nvidia seems to be derived from the Latin invida, meaning Envy, which coincidentally? is depicted by the colour green the same colour as the Nvidia logo. Furthermore the older Nvidia cinematic, shown in the clip before, pronounced it as "Invidia" the same pronunciation as that of the Latin word. Just thought that might be a cool fact for people who didn't know Gaming PC: Case: NZXT Phantom 820 Black | PSU: XFX 750w PRO Black Edition 80Plus Gold (Platinum) | CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K | CPU Cooler: BE QUIET!

Posted May 7, 2015 I had guessed that, invidia is still an actual word in my language and it means envy, as you said.

Posted May 7, 2015 envy in italian is "invidia" so you can probably guess how many jokes I've heard about it (hint: a lot).
