NVIDIA commemorates the inception of the GeForce 256 graphics card legend on its 25th anniversary. Launched in 1999, the GeForce 256 was the first GPU to support hardware transform and lighting (T&L), offloading 3D processing tasks from the CPU, revolutionizing 3D graphics of that era. When paired with cutting-edge games like Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament, it propelled the emergence of realistic 3D FPS games, laying the foundation for the GeForce GPU brand we know today.
