AMD today announced details behind one of the world’s largest and most technologically advanced display walls, located in New York’s Times Square at 1535 Broadway, between 45th and 46th Streets. The stunning visuals that drive the digital sign’s massive size – 25,000 square feet of Ultra-High Definition digital signage incorporating nearly 24 million pixels – are powered by AMD FirePro™ professional graphics cards.

The sign, with playback system designed and managed by Diversified Media Group, is a single surface covering a city block in length and stands eight stories high. Driving the visual display are three AMD FirePro professional graphics cards using AMD Eyefinity Technology, with each card powering six sections of the display for a combined resolution of 10,048 x 2,368 pixels. The individual display sections are synchronized across graphics cards and zones using the FirePro™ S400 synchronization module.
 
Jerry Jones is now irrelevant in yet another sector of his life.

I wonder how much of a hit his ego will take.
 
Nice, would be interesting to have some type of behind the scenes report on this.
 
It's total bragging rights to have packed a bunch of GPUs into a city block sized waste of electricity that'll display advertisements that everyone ignores anywho.
 
Heebyjeeby... how much power does that whole setup waste?
 
Those gpu's are actually quite low power. It's just a number of display ports issue, otherwise you could power all of that on one modern graphics card.
 
Funny thing is I was there a week or so before they turned it on last year! :mad:
