Nvidia Celebrates 25th Anniversary of GeForce 256 With Themed Popcorn and Short Video
GeForce 256, today marks exactly 25 years since its release. NVIDIA confirmed that the GeForce 256 sold 1 million units in its first year (essentially the last three months of 1999), highlighting its immediate impact on the gaming industry.
The capabilities of the GeForce 256 made it stand out from other graphics solutions. The GeForce 256 came at a time when gamers were eager to experience Quake III Arena and were captivated by the iconic visuals of The Matrix.
To mark the anniversary, Nvidia employee Manuel Guzman from the Software QA department shared a photo of the company's cafeteria where they are celebrating the occasion with green popcorn, a reference to the iconic green color associated with the Nvidia brand.
