  • The RIVA TNT, codenamed NV4, is a 2D, video, and 3D graphics accelerator chip for PCs that was manufactured by Nvidia. It was released in mid 1998 and cemented Nvidia's reputation as a worthy rival within the developing consumer 3D graphics adapter industry. The first RIVA TNT based card released in June 15, 1998 by STB: Velocity 4400. RIVA is an acronym for Real-time Interactive Video and Animation accelerator. The "TNT" suffix refers to the chip's ability to work on two texels at once (TwiN Texel).
  • Il Riva TNT (chiamato anche NV4 in fase di sviluppo) è un acceleratore grafico 2D/3D prodotto da NVIDIA. Lanciato nel tardo 1998, ha rappresentato il primo grande successo per l'azienda. Il nome è un acronimo, e sta per "Real-time Interactive Video and Animation accelerator" (Acceleratore in tempo reale per video e animazione); il suffisso TNT (TwiN Texel) indica la capacità del processore di lavorare su due texel alla volta. Esisteva anche una versione economica, chiamata Vanta.
  • RIVA TNT (de TwiN Texel), codinome NV4, é um processador gráfico acelerador 2D e 3D para PCs fabricado pela nVidia. Foi lançado no final de 1998 e definiu a nVidia como forte candidata no mercado de processadores gráficos.
  • Nvidia RIVA TNT, 代号NV4, 是一款带有2D,视频，3D加速功能的个人电脑视频加速芯片。该芯片发售于1998年6月，此款芯片奠定了Nvidia在消费性3D加速卡研发领域重要角色的地位。第一张基于TNT芯片的显示卡由STB公司在1998年6月15日发售，型号为:Velocity 4400。‘RIVA’一词是‘即时（Real-Time）互动（Interactive）视频与动画（Video and animation)加速卡（Accelrator）’的缩写[1]。‘TNT’（TwiN Texel)这个后缀指该芯片具有同时处理两个像素的能力。[2] NVIDIA的目標是讓RIVA TNT的效能能達到Voodoo2的两倍。但受制於0.25微米制程還沒有成熟，RIVA TNT的製造工藝是0.35微米制程。這令到核心頻率比原先預計的110MHz大幅降低，只有90MHz，在这一频率上TNT的综合效能并不及Voodoo2。 RIVA TNT是當時最快的顯示核心之一，多間顯示卡廠商都加入了NVIDIA阵营，包括德国的ELSA和美国的Canopus。同期，NVIDIA成為OpenGL Architecture Review Board（OpenGL ARB）的成員。 後來，NVIDIA意識到驅動程式的重要性，開始為RIVA TNT编写全新的驅動程式，這就是出名的「雷管」（Detonator）。
