ive been looking around for the last 2d card but I cant find much info, maybe you guys can help
no limitations really, it can be vib, pci, idc as long as it's 2d
Probably Tseng ET6100 — released in June 1997. ET6300 would be their first 3D-capable card, but they were acquired by ATI before they could finish it. There might be some industrial/workstation solutions or mobile chips though.

Not sure about later things for server use, but these were usually integrated onboard. Dunno if they were made as stand alone cards...

This is the D-Sub (analog VGA ) variant of the Infotronic 2000. This wasn't a general market VGA card however, but optimized for calibrated grayscale image representation in TIFF G3/4 format, e.g. remote evaluation of medical X-rays.
(I also have a Smith-Heimann HDX-1.0 dual VGA PCI card, which is full of Xilinx chips and uses SDRAM for expansion. It was apparently the display subsystem of an X-ray baggage scanner station. I'd think such a card is also 2D-only as we don't want to the warden play CS:GO while Carlos the Jackal checks in...)
There are 2D only cards still being made today, for example https://shop.dmp.com.tw/INT/products/87 .
Many integrated server graphics cards are based on the Matrox G200 and in theory do support 3D acceleration
