At first I read it as first 3D card (Diamond Monster 3D, original 3Dfx Voodoo chipset, PCI, 1997). But it said first graphics card. I think that was the Diamond Speedstar Pro (ISA, 1MB VRAM, 1995?). I'm a little foggy on this now, sadly.

First video card
Re: First video card
I had a Diamond Stealth something-something PCI card in a machine back in the day. Maybe a hand-me-down Pentium I? That's before I knew about computers. The first one I bought was a Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 some time around 2001.
