If by Cards you include ones that were full height boards for VAXen (780 &
750), then the CAD industry certainly pushed the boundaries of graphics
hardware. In particular, Intergraph in the 70s produced boards and the then
leading CAD software to go with it.

We at Laser-Scan also in the 1970s did very high resolution displays
(driven by PDP-11 and VAXen) - 140,000 by 100,000 addressable points, but
mainly into the two industries of security printing (banknote design), and
digital mapping.
