not a very good list, from a historical perspective it’s missing many important cards, as mentioned by others

GPUs existed in the 1960s, but apparently Sony invented the actual term "GPU" in 1994.

1999? You sure?
The point is that Nvidia popularized the term, Id guess.

Nvidia called the Geforce 256 the first ever GPU.
