The purpose of this website is to inform Settlement Class Members of the proposed settlement which may affect their rights, to provide information on important dates and deadlines, to collect email addresses for those Settlement Class Members wishing to be contacted with future updates, and to inform Settlement Class Members of the options available to them. You may be a Settlement Class Member if you are a United States resident who purchased for your own personal use and not for resale one of the computers listed in Section 7 of the Full Notice during the corresponding time period, which contained one of certain NVIDIA chips that were incorporated into some versions of those computers. A list of the models affected can be found here. You can also click here to see if your specific model is affected by this settlement.

The lawsuit claimed that NVIDIA sold defective Graphics Processing Units (“GPUs”) and Media and Communications Processors (“MCPs”) that affected the performance of some of the computers in which they were incorporated. NVIDIA denies all allegations of wrongdoing and has asserted many defenses. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

I never understood how a settlement isn't an admission of wrongdoing.

Easy. Its a business decision. You are suing me for $1 million. I can fight it in court for a couple years and spend $200,000 in legal fees and STILL lose.

I mitigate my risk and offer you $100,000 to go away.

Knowing the same thing, you may pay $200,000 in legal fees and lose, you take the money now.

I admit no wrongdoing, but recognize the fact that I made a valid business decision. You get your money.

The entire reason for being sued actually ends up becoming irrelevent.

I bought my MacBook Pro during the affected period, but I bought it at the Apple Store in Toronto...looks like I'm ineligible.

5. How do I know if I am part of the settlement? Judge Ware has decided that everyone who fits this description is a Class Member: All persons and entities resident in the United States of America who purchased a “Class Computer” in the United States of America.
