Nvidia Corporation is an American technology company that designs and sells graphics processing units (GPUs) for both commercial and enterprise use.

This has lead to the prioritization of enterprise products while the consumer products become less appealing. Nvidia on multiple accounts has employed deceptive practices such as to mislead the everyday buyer.

Overview of concerns that arise from the company's conduct regarding (if applicable):

  • User freedom
  • User privacy
  • Business model
  • Market control
