So I found this ancient thread over at Arstechnica today

And thought I'd bring the discussion here. There's been a lot more video cards released since then, but what is the worst video card ever? Also, it's not really fair to compare a card to one that came out much later and is obviously faster or better. Try to isolate your "bad" video card comparisons to other cards of the same time period. I also have to define worst as being a card that utterly failed to live up to it's manufacturers claims, was broken in some way or tried and failed to move the industry in a new direction by introducing some new proprietary technology that was never widely adopted and died out from lack of support.
So, I'm sure most will agree that just about any card with the Trident name on it is a piece of crap. I also put the Intel i740 on the list along with the Matrox Parhelia.
