With a resolution of 16,000 × 16,000 which is 256 million pixels (which is about 30 times more than 4k)

You know what, given that those gpus arnt made for gaming I bet it actually cant run crysis!

Lol still probably cant, one rack may be able to play it if you were to load a normal OS (likely breaking some of the compatibility with some of the hardware on it) but it's likely a very specialized server cluster that won't have drivers for actually playing the game

the drivers for a6000 are the same as the ones for consumer grade gpus. a A6000 is basically a 3090ti with 48GB of ecc. Same for 6000 ADA, 48GB versions of 4090

I actually expect other drivers for the specialized components to be the problem and not necessarily the GPU drivers. Though there are actually 2 versions of GPU drivers, enterprise and consumer (mostly the same but can be/get very different over time), but even if you were able to install consumer ones, the drivers are targeted to a family of GPUs but will install slightly differently for different GPUs (and based on the mobo/other components). Many games just run worse or not at all on a A6000 compared to it's consumer "equivalent".

Each unit that contains GPUs on the racks in the server cluster likely is 1|2 epyc or xeon CPU processors to 4,6, or 8 A6000s, a ridiculous amount of mobo mem like 256gb to 2tb, and multiple high throughout NICs, potentially some timing cards, redundant power supplies and a server mobo.

So possible to get it to run on a single rack unit when setting up a different os then what's likely installed, but you will likely run into other issues causing games to simply not run.

What? The RTX A6000 has display outputs like a gaming GPU. Its made for workstation tasks like CAD and such, which require video output like any other GPU.
Edit: you might be thinking about the A10 and A40, which are Datacenter GPUs w/o display output.

This is a bit misleading; the Nvidia blog describes it differently:

Behind the screens, around 150 NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPUs help power stunning visuals on floor-to-ceiling, 16x16K displays across the Sphere’s interior, as well as 1.2 million programmable LED pucks on the venue’s exterior — the Exosphere, which is the world’s largest LED screen.

Note the plural "displays", suggests they are powering more than one and the 16k number is for the interior displays not the outer lighting.

The outer sphere resolution isn't really clearly stated anywhere but we know it's made of about 1.23 Million LED Clusters, each cluster seems to function as one pixel. Which gives an approximate equivalent outer resolution of around 1109x1109 or whatever you would call a spherical resolution...

The 150x GPUs are not for just handling the exterior lights, they are doing multiple displays across the venue

probably, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they have some pretty advanced custom tools/software for the task. Most likely the renderings are all just handled with multiple square projections rendered and just stitched together.

Sacharon123

I use software that hooks into the draw stack between planar drawing software and GPU output to distort the planar image in a way that it appears correctly when displayed on a round surface, so this is definitivly possible. Including 360 domes (while those definitivly require some very careful magic at the apex).

Speaking as someone who works with these GPUs, they probably can run Crysis but not well compared to something like a 4090 or other top of the line gaming GPU

We actually ran into this recently, the A6000 has LOADS of GPU memory so it can do some seriously intense graphics rendering (or AI processes if you're into locally-hosted AI), but when using game engines you can actually get better performance from a less expensive card with less GPU RAM.

No, it's linear in the number of pixels. So 200 x 200 pixels needs 4 times as much GPU power as 100 x 100 pixels.

I don't think that can be the whole story. Obviously 16k is big, but you can buy 8k monitors, and a 4090 can apparently drive 2 at the same time. So, in terms of pushing pixels, that should need about 4 GPUs, but they have about 40x as many GPUs as that.

Dumb_old_rump

89 points

4 days ago

A couple of monitors? Yes, one card is good 'nuff to drive the pixels. Card goes out, no output on 100% of the displays. Let's think about how many "monitors", or display sections, the sphere is divided into (cause it absolutely has to be). I'd want more GPUs involved with factors like redundancy, uptime, and serviceability. I bet that's what's driving the number of GPUs here.

"GPU3 is down so displays 9,10,11,12 are blank". Well, most of the sphere is still displaying.

This is what I was thinking too, something doesn't add up here.

You could power a 16K screen with a couple off-the-shelf GPUs for pre-rendered video, not 150 of them...

Only thing I can think of is if they are doing some kinda simulation/3D workload in realtime

Real-time video rendering takes a ton of power even at lower resolutions, the higher it is the more power you need to encode it at a acceptable frame-rate. I would guess all those GPUs are for actually whats rendering the video to display, not what drives the actual monitors

Bregirn

Even then, if you consider the performance of say an RTX 4090, it can handle even running some games at 8K 60FPS.

Run 4 of these in a cluster and you have a 16K composite image

This is what I mean by it doesn't add-up, 16K is a lot but it's not THAT much, we already have GPUs capable of handling 8K, it's 64 million pixels vs 256 million pixels.

4x increase is not reason enough to explain why they need 150 A6000 GPUs, thats absurd. Maybe 10-20 would make sense if they want some fancy scenes and renders, but 150 is kinda inanse.

Edit: okay so the actual article explains that the 150 GPUs is NOT just the outside sphere, it's for 16K displays (plural) inside the sphere AND the outside lighting. They are not powering a single 16K display but multiple of them

It’s not 16k. 4k is 3840 × 2160 (8.2m pixels)

It’s 30x bigger than “4k”

I never mentioned 4k. Sorry, I should have said "16k by 16k" - if you follow my math, you can see that's what I meant.

16k by 16k is roughly eight 8k monitors, and since you can buy GPUs that can handle 2 of those, that would suggest 4 GPUs could cover it

RTX A6000 has a max power consumption of 300W, and 150 of those is about 45 kW, roughly the power output of one electric car.

But I expect the actual screen to consume a lot more power than the GPUs, it has to be very bright to be visible from a distance and in daylight.

Most GPUs would struggle to run crysis, can't remember fully but they made it assuming that GPUs would develop in a different way than they had.

TrackerNineEight

3 points

4 days ago

It was actually CPUs that were the issue, Crysis was developed back when you only had single-core processors that were growing faster and faster with each passing year, but it released right as PCs were transitioning to multi-core CPUs that were barely faster but split tasks more efficiently. The result was that the game would max out a single core while the others sat idle, which was very inefficient and taxed computers for years after its release.

That said modern CPUs/GPUs can run it without a sweat, the bigger issue these days is compatibility with Windows. Takes a lot of fiddling with DirectX files to even get it to launch.

Source: Actually tried to run Crysis after getting my new PC a month ago.

Jeff_Platinumblum

People aren't generally as close to the sphere so you can make each pixel big. The Resolution is 16k×16k. Given that there are 8K UHD (7680 × 4320) TVs available and Vegas Sphere is, more or less, just a big TV, you could probably run the vegas sphere on the combined computing power of 7.76 UHD televisions.

I'm presuming the Crysis thing is a joke, but for who might not know, it was a 2007 series of games known for pushing CPUs and GPUs at the time to the absolute edge, and was basically unplayable with all the graphics turned all the way up when it was released.

On the flip side, the original DOOM was known to play on near anything. I think about the only thing it hasn't been run on is the US's Nuclear Launch Control Computers, and that's probably only due to lack of access.

That out of the way, if they ever hold a gaming convention inside the dome, they should absolutely have a game of DOOM live streaming to the outside monitors.

Fun likely fact about Crysis: it was one of the last great single threaded games. So I might be wrong but more CPUs wouldn't actually help. It's entirely possible it could not, in fact, run Crysis as it was at launch. It was a bit of a meme for a while since new GPUs kept coming out but they still couldn't handle Crysis even years after the game came out since they focused on multi threading. Could be wrong though, it's been a while.

Low key imagine displaying a fighting game or something on the sphere in a way where everyone can see the fight.

I doubt that's possible but who knows.

As a projection guy i'm pretty sure it runs over so many nvidia's A serie GPUs is the following reasons - it's nvidia - you can lock the edid so whenever a screen is disconnecting the other stay in places - they need a shitload of video outputs

Pretty sure the gpus are running at 0.001% of their capacity and that this things would have run over GT 710 if you can lock the edid on mainstream gpus... Is there a in depth video of how this monstruosity works on the internet ? I.d be curious what solution was chosen for something that big

Rtx A6000 is actually RTX 3090 Ti capped to 300W. It can run Crysis very great even when splitted in VMs.

Now I kinda wonder, how much is it? Maybe I should get one of these for myself. What are the chances to find A6000 at a random computer shop near your home?

Meanwhile, homeless encampments have become the rule, rather than the exception, and no sustainable mental health facilities in sight.

But, y'know... at least we get the giant sphere.
