The RIVA TNT2 is a graphics processing unit manufactured by Nvidia starting in early 1999. The chip is codenamed "NV5" because it is the 5th graphics chip design by Nvidia, succeeding the RIVA TNT (NV4). RIVA is an acronym for Real-time Interactive Video and Animation accelerator.[1] The "TNT" suffix refers to the chip's ability to work on two texels at once (TwiN Texel).[2] Nvidia removed RIVA from the name later[when?] in the chip's lifetime.[2]
