NVIDIA has officially unveiled NVIDIA RTX Spark, a new superchip that reinvents Windows PCs for the era of personal AI agents — offering a new class of computer that moves from tool to teammate.
Built for AI, creating and gaming, RTX Spark has integrate 30 years of NVIDIA innovation — including NVIDIA CUDA, NVIDIA RTX, DLSS, FP4, NVIDIA TensorRT, NVIDIA OptiX, Reflex and G-SYNC — to slim Windows laptops with all-day battery life and small, ultraefficient desktop PCs.
“The PC is being reinvented,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “For forty years, you launched apps. Click. Type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask — and the PC does the work. RTX Spark brings everything NVIDIA has built — CUDA, RTX, our AI platform — into a single superchip. Local agents. Frontier models. Creative workflows. RTX games. All on a laptop. This is the new PC. The personal AI computer.”
The RTX Spark superchip includes an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and advanced Tensor Cores that work with FP4 precision. It connects to a powerful, 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU using the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C connection.
MediaTek, known for its Arm-based chip designs, worked with NVIDIA to create this custom CPU, helping to make it efficient in power use, performance, and connectivity.
Purpose-Built for Personal Agents
AI agents have reached an important point, with open source projects like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent getting a lot of attention on developer platforms such as GitHub and OpenRouter. However, many users have been hesitant to adopt these agents because they can’t run them securely on their main computers.
To tackle this issue, NVIDIA and Microsoft are teaming up to create a secure Windows platform for these agents.
Their partnership starts with new Windows security features and the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime, which will allow agents to operate safely while giving users full control.
These new Windows features offer identity, containment, policy, and security measures to help run agents natively. NVIDIA OpenShell adds more options for users to decide what agents can and cannot do, intelligently manage queries based on privacy preferences, and hide personal information in requests sent to cloud services.
Leading agent developers like Hermes Agent and OpenClaw are adopting this strong security layer in their new Windows applications. These apps will allow users to easily and securely access powerful on-device agents, which can perform tasks in Windows programs, manage workflows across different apps, create images and videos, develop plug-ins and apps, and conduct detailed searches of local files.
“We are strong supporters of deploying agents like OpenClaw securely into the Windows ecosystem,” said Vincent Koc, chief architect at the OpenClaw Foundation. “Running solutions like OpenShell and the Microsoft security primitives on RTX Spark will enable users to leverage a fully integrated stack for private, personal agents running on device.”
Powering local agents necessitates strong security and high-performance hardware, with RTX Spark offering up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and 128GB of unified memory.
“At Nous, we expect tasks to increasingly run on device as personal agents like our Hermes Agent become more capable and ubiquitous,” said Dillon Rolnick, CEO of Nous Research. “RTX Spark and NVIDIA OpenShell give Hermes users a powerful and secure environment for agents to run and work alongside you. You realize you’re buying a full-fledged assistant, not a typical laptop.”
From this foundation, the partnership between NVIDIA and Microsoft will lead to new RTX Spark features available from the Windows taskbar.
“Our goal is to deliver unmetered intelligence to every home and every desk with Windows,” said Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO of Microsoft. “RTX Spark marks a real breakthrough towards that vision.”
Full-Stack RTX Creating and Gaming
RTX Spark is ready to offer the full NVIDIA AI and graphics technology stack to creators, AI developers and gamers.
Users can process large 90GB 3D scenes with OptiX and DLSS, edit 12K video with the NVIDIA Blackwell decoder, run large language models with 1 million tokens, and play AAA games smoothly at 1440p and over 100 frames per second with ray tracing, DLSS, and Reflex.
RTX Spark will enhance existing technologies with new capabilities, such as DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction for Blender 5.3 and other games, and RTX Video with 4x Frame Generation for ComfyUI.
RTX technology improves performance, enhances image quality, and adds AI features to over 1,000 games and applications. More than 100 software providers, including Adobe, Blackmagic Design, and Blender, along with game developers like KRAFTON, NetEase, and Riot Games, are adopting the new RTX Spark platform.
- “Blackmagic Design and NVIDIA have accelerated video production for many years,” said Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design. “Portable, lightweight RTX Spark laptops with fantastic battery life are going to help our customers take the next leap in on-the-go production.”
- “Rendering is entering a new era where path tracing, AI and real-time workflows are converging into powerful new neural media artist tools,” said Jules Urbach, CEO of OTOY. “Our work with NVIDIA to bring OTOY Octane with Render Network support to RTX Spark will deliver a new class of portable systems for creators.”
- “The combination of RTX Spark’s processing capabilities and large unified memory will make it one of the best-performing laptops to run diffusion models,” said Yannik Marek, cofounder and creator of ComfyUI. “ComfyUI users can now run highly complex, multimodal workflows and generate ultra-high-resolution images and videos with unprecedented speed on a portable device.”
- “RTX Spark laptops change the game by multiplying the amount of context processing and putting it directly into a beautiful, portable chassis,” said Georgi Gerganov, founder of llama.cpp. “Highly optimized models running locally through llama.cpp with RTX Spark’s AI performance will unleash the next wave of personal, private agents.”
- “We worked closely with NVIDIA to support a great gaming experience and are excited to expand access to XBOX on RTX Spark devices, making it easy for players to discover and play with XBOX on PC,” said Jason Ronald, vice president of Next Generation at XBOX.
- “RTX Spark allows even more gamers to experience NetEase titles like ‘NARAKA: BLADEPOINT’ on ultrathin, high-performance laptops the way the developers intended,” said Long Cheng, senior vice president of Thunderfire BU at NetEase.
- “Remedy is looking forward to bringing its games together with NVIDIA to these stunning new RTX Spark laptops,” said Mika Vehkala, chief technology officer of Remedy Entertainment.
