Interviewed Dec 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 5 weeks)
Applied via one of NVIDIA's research partners (I've sent my CV after my internship with recommendation letter from my mentor). Within 2 weeks they scheduled a phone interview with some manager who was very, very easy going person. I was given a "homework" - a simple assignment in C to do within 2 days. Just after they received my solution my second interview was scheduled (next week). This time I came across an even nicer person, a guy who had his interns last year and got hired after that. I was asked some technical questions, really easy ones and we spoke much about my project (he even ofered some help with that!). I'm so excited I got hired, because guys at NVIDIA seem to be very clever, yet easy going and friendly.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 5 days)
I spoke with the hiring manager on the phone and then flew to the Bay area for a round of interviews. The on site interview was fairly standard - 5-6 interviews and a lunch interview with the hiring manager.
Most of the questions were focused on my past experience and domain specific questions on multimedia. There was one interview where I was asked a bunch of fairly straightforward coding questions.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 1 week)
Applied online and got a 45-min phone interview. The interviewer asked a lot of technical questions about CMOS and transistor-level design. The questions were not so difficult but they did require the candidate to have a very good understanding of the basic concepts.
