    I would have to say Asus makes the biggest and baddest of the bad ass graphics cards with NVidia chipsets.

    Back on top? When were they ever on top? I've never had a very good impression of the company. It always seemed like they only produced "budget" cards that had crappy video quality and low framerates, and I still remember fighting with one of their All-in-Wonder cards to get the drivers installed. The main wonder was that it worked at all. OK, so the Radeon is a decent card by all accounts, but its basically the first card to match the top contender in the 5 or 6 years that 3D cards were important. I wasn't much of a fan of Nvidia at first either, but they have since won me over with excellent products year after year. ATI haven't done that.
