You might be surprised by how many Nvidia GPUs it takes to power the Las Vegas Sphere

When it was unveiled a year ago, we described the Sphere in Las Vegas perhaps a little harshly as the world's most mesmerising eyesore. The immersive venue with its nearly 750,000 square feet of LED displays, has since been the stage for U2 concerts, Darren Aronofsky’s Postcard From Earth and, er, 'mega minion' Jerry.

Graphics card producer Nvidia reckons the venue is up there with legendary circular performance spaces such as the Roman Colosseum and Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. And it's revealed more about how all of those displays are powered (see our pick of the best graphics cards for deals on consumer GPUs from Nvidia).
