nVidia does not actually make the graphics cards; they make
the GPUs, which are then integrated with cards by 3rd-party resellers.
According to the nVidia rep, even if they show the nVidia name, the
cards are *always* from another company, such as MSI, eVGA, or PNY.
I can attest from my own experience that the identity of the 3rd-party
company is not always easily discernible by inspection of the box or
the card.
(Note that when purchasing a video card, you need to determine whether
your system requires a AGP or PCI-E card interface:
from t-break: PCI-E Bandwagon, you can see a picture showing both
types of card connectors:

Other products made by nVidia include MCPs (media and communications
processors) and AMD chipsets for motherboards.
