Press Release Summary: CAPCOM, GRIN, and NVIDIA Join Forces to Heighten Realism in
the Upcoming Game Title

Press Release Body: DUBAI, UAE-AUGUST 11, 2008-CAPCOM Co. Ltd., GRIN Entertainment,
and NVIDIA® Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the world leader in visual computing
technologies, today jointly announced that CAPCOM's upcoming Bionic Commando video
game will use GPU-accelerated NVIDIA PhysXT technology to enhance the game's debris,
smoke, dust, and weapon effects. Bionic Commando, which will be released by GRIN in
early 2009, is one of many titles to take advantage of NVIDIA PhysX technology,
interactive entertainment's most pervasive physics engine.

"CAPCOM is extremely excited to work with GRIN to bring the world-class franchise of
Bionic Commando into the 21st century," said Ben Judd, producer of Bionic Commando
at CAPCOM.
"CAPCOM has also always been strong partners with NVIDIA and with Bionic Commando we
are taking things to a new level by adding GPU-accelerated PhysX to increase the
title's realism."

"Physics is changing the industry. We evaluated all of the commercial physics
systems out there for gaming, and the choice was easy," said Bo Andersson, CEO at
GRIN Entertainment. "NVIDIA PhysX runs faster than other solutions and it works
across PCs and consoles, which is important to us because Bionic Commando will ship
on all major platforms. We believe PhysX will help make the game seem even more
lifelike and immersive."

With NVIDIA PhysX, the world literally comes to life: walls can be torn down, trees
bend in the wind, and water flows with body and force. PhysX technology harnesses
the power of the CPU as well as any CUDA general-purpose parallel computing
processor, including any NVIDIA GeForce® 8 Series or higher GPU, to handle 10-20
times more visual complexity than what's possible on today's traditional PC
platforms. Unlike competitive solutions which do not offer hardware scaling
capability, only PhysX technology can leverage the best of both CPU and GPU
architectures to deliver the ultimate, immersive, end user experience.

"The gaming industry and gamers themselves are excited to see the return of Bionic
Commando. The addition of physics effects using PhysX technology is going to add a
huge amount of extra fun and depth to the game play," said Roy Taylor, vice
president of content development at NVIDIA. "We can't wait to see what the talented
team at CAPCOM and GRIN can create using the NVIDIA PhysX technology and hands-on
support from our developer technology team."

NVIDIA PhysX technology, interactive entertainment's most pervasive physics engine,
is included in more than 140 shipping titles for Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox
360, Nintendo Wii, and the PC. For more information on NVIDIA PhysX technology,
