I swear they tried this several years back. I'm sure I remember seeing some abit branded graphics cards on their site back when i was just a wee overclocking nipper.

Yep they did RX300's, X700's, 9600XTs and GeForce 4 Ti 4200. Probably more

Edit: Infact it looks like some of them were in production until 2005

Slightly off-topic, but did anyone ever try their operating system that they included on a disk with some of their motherboards?

yup remember seeing some Radeon 9500's which you could overclock to 9600 level by changing some sort of jumper on the card itself although its gonna be nice to have one more, experienced brand coming back to graphic cards market, maybe this way increasing competition and lowering some of the prices too

Abit will do just fine, glad there getting back into it.

Bad idea Abit, try getting your motherboards more exposure

think that it's more a case of USI leveraging their abilities & using the abit brand.

I know that certainly some people will be glad to see them back in gfx - wonder if Vguru will come back?

this is hardly news though seeing as abit showed gfx cards at Cebit ...
