Wouldn't just one GPU be enough to run the Sphere, or a I getting something wrong?
I remember hearing about that it's not exactly high resolution, each "pixel" being a bunch of pretty large lamps.
Wikipedia says it's 16,000x16,000 (which is way less than I thought). The way the math works, that's 16x as big as a 4k monitor, so 16 GPUs would make sense. And there's a screen inside and one outside, so double that. But I also can't figure out why it needs five times that. Redundancy? Poor optimization? I dunno.
I'm guessing it's the department of redundancy department, is my guess.
Someone elsewhere in the thread suggested it might be a marketing thing on Nvidia's part, and that makes a lot of sense.
