Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer (www.pcgamer.com)

Wait, the article says it's "internal displays" but the picture shows images on the outside of the globe?

Yep, it is both. Highly recommend this amazing video from Eddie Burbank about it, very entertaining. https://youtu.be/KN63DDD9Y04?si=q6gE98LszfcPzBvy

Never heard of him nor the sphere before. Excellent video that explains the sphere, made by an excellent YouTuber.
Excellent recommendation!

Hi is willing to commit to suffer so much for the most stupid and hilarious of quests like eating at every Margaritaville in the continental US. What a legend.

It's got both. It's awesome. But it's also owned by James Dolan, and he's a douche. I say that as a big Rangers fan.

The article says

Those GPUs power 16 internal displays, each with a resolution of 16K, alongside 1.2 million programmable LED pucks coating the exterior of the sphere.

Did you literally stop reading mid sentence? Or are you just not able to read good?

"internal displays" could mean whatever. They're embedded for example.

So not read good. Thanks
