Proper pronunciation of NVIDIA I ll ask one more time very very seriously Can anyone cite a reliable written source which definitively says how the NVIDIA muckamucks intend for NVIDIA to be pronounced For some time now the article said n v di but someone changed it just now to say n v di As I said several months ago see Talk Nvidia The way it s meant to be pronounced above I am personally absolutely convinced beyond any doubt that NVIDIA s own pronunciation of its name based on the audio of the animated logo at the start of a recent game is n v di inn VID ee uh with the first two vowels being identical I know some other people seem equally absolutely convinced beyond any doubt that the correct pronunciation is n v di en VID ee uh and the only explanation I can come up with for this discrepancy is that those people s speech may have the pin pen merger please go read that if you aren t familiar with the term whereas my own speech does not have the pin pen merger and I therefore hear the pronunciation differently from some other people Or perhaps the person whose voice was recorded for the NVIDIA animated logo happens to speak a regional dialect with the pin pen merger and none of the NVIDIA execs have noticed or cared My first impulse just now was to simply revert the latest edit and put the text back the way it was before n v di My second impulse was to leave it as it now is but put a fact tag on the pronunciation until someone can supply a reliable source But if no one can come up with a source I believe it s better not to give any pronunciation until unless it can be reliably sourced
