They made an early bet on CUDA (17 years ago!), long before it was cool to use GPUs for general computing. It paid off handsomely and soon overtook all their gaming profits.
I don't think anyone else was really trying that back then, except maybe Sony with their Cell processors in PS2s (but that was never really popular aside from a limited few supercomputing experiments).
