Las Vegas is a place where light shows predominate, and it is impossible to walk around this place without seeing a single light, knowing that practically all its aesthetics revolve around them. Now, we have learned a news that has surprised us a little, and that is that one of the latest buildings built in Las Vegas uses a technology of NVIDIA To offer this spectacle, the large sphere uses RTX Graphics to view the images and videos you have.
According to many people, the large sphere found in the Nevada region of the United States is one of the great creations of current architecture, and it combines a new sphere-shaped design with the most current technologies that can be found in the computer sector.
NVIDIA is everywhere, even in one of the largest buildings in Las Vegas
This may seem strange to us since many people only know NVIDIA for having become a reference in the video game sector thanks to the technologies and power that its graphics cards are capable of offering, but it is a company that is currently everywhere. Although it is clear that one of the main reasons why it has become one of the companies with the highest monthly turnover is related to its artificial intelligence products, they have not left aside other projects that have nothing to do with its usual field.
And NVIDIA revealed that the large sphere of Las Vegas It is powered by a total of 150 of its graphics to operate its LED screens, which cover approximately 69,000 square meters and have a resolution of 16,000 x 16,000 pixels. These screens extend from floor to ceiling inside the hall but also have an outdoor installation consisting of 1.2 million programmable LED bars spread over 54,000 square meters.

The component that controls this sphere is part of the Quadro family
Knowing all the screens they have to power, it is clear that one can think that the graphics they use are extremely powerful, and they really are, but they do not belong to the gaming variant of the GPUs sold by NVIDIA, but are part of the family for professionals that the brand offers. And the graphics that allow us to create the largest LED screen in the world are nothing more and nothing less than the RTX A6000 graphics card belonging to the variant Frame, and they feature 48GB of GDDR6 video memory, 10,752 CUDA cores, 336 Tensor cores, and 84 RT cores.
The most impressive thing about this is to do the calculations of the specifications that add up, and that is that if we multiply all the graphics that the sphere integrates by the video memory that each one has, we have a total of 7200 GB. But this is not the only figure that can seem big to us, and if we think about the price of each of these graphics cards, which is around $ 5,000, and multiply it by the number of GPUs that the sphere has. , we can get an idea of ​​the great investment involved in this large building by counting only these components.
