NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops launch with up to 1 petaflop for local AI

NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops are now available from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI. The company presents them as slim Windows PCs for content creation, gaming and on-device AI workloads.

The platform combines an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU and an NVIDIA Grace CPU in one superchip. It offers up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance.

Local agents and development

RTX Spark supports local models and agents including GitHub Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Perplexity, Pi and WorkBuddy. NVIDIA also announced Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB, a 74-billion-parameter model optimized for tool calling and multistep tasks.

NVIDIA OpenShell and Microsoft Execution Containers are designed to control agent permissions. NVIDIA PAIR allows RTX Spark to provide inference to compatible Windows, Linux and macOS computers on a home network.

Developer features include native CUDA support, Windows Developer Config, Windows Subsystem for Linux and the first PyTorch-CUDA build for Windows on Arm. NVIDIA said the platform supports 97% of the top 15,000 Python packages.

Content creation and gaming

NVIDIA says the systems can edit 8K 4:2:2 video and handle 3D scenes of up to 90GB, including while unplugged. Photoshop and Premiere have beta RTX Spark support at launch, while Substance 3D support is planned for a later release.

Launch-game support includes Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite, Gears of War: E-Day, Marvel Rivals, World of Warcraft and NBA 2K27. NVIDIA said NBA 2K27 uses DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering; a new model can increase DLSS 5 frame rates by up to 1.4x, according to the company.

Microsoft and the listed PC makers are participating in the launch. NVIDIA said additional RTX Spark systems will follow but did not provide their manufacturers or release dates.
