NVIDIA’s RTX Spark is a single-chip design that pairs the company’s AI hardware with RTX graphics, and it now has a launch window. The superchip arrives in Windows laptops and compact desktops in Fall 2026, with a growing roster of game publishers already committed to supporting it.
Quick answer: RTX Spark laptops ship in Fall 2026 from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI, built around a Blackwell RTX GPU (up to 6,144 CUDA cores), a 20-core Arm-based Grace CPU, and up to 128 GB of unified memory.
RTX Spark Superchip specifications
RTX Spark combines a graphics processor, a CPU, and a large pool of shared memory into one package aimed at thin laptops and small desktops. NVIDIA positions it as the most power-efficient RTX chip it has built, with a chassis thin enough that battery life comfortably covers a long single-player session on one charge.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| GPU | Blackwell RTX, up to 6,144 CUDA cores |
| CPU | Custom 20-core Arm-based Grace |
| Unified memory | Up to 128 GB |
| AI performance | Up to 1 petaflop (FP4) |
| Laptop thickness | As thin as 14 mm |
| Launch window | Fall 2026 |
| Laptop makers | ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI |
The unified memory matters for more than gaming. With up to 128 GB shared across the chip, developers can prototype, fine-tune, and run AI models locally, handling workloads that a conventional laptop would normally push to the cloud. CUDA, the software layer behind most modern AI development, runs natively on the platform.
Games and publishers confirmed at launch
Several titles are set to run on RTX Spark laptops from day one, including Apex Legends, ANNO 117: Pax Romana, Arc Raiders, The Finals, and EA SPORTS F1 25. Because publishers such as Remedy Entertainment and NetEase Games are on board, games like Control: Resonant and Marvel Rivals are expected to run without issues once the hardware ships.
The list of studios and publishers pledging support has expanded to more than twenty names:
- BeamNG
- CD Projekt Red
- Capcom
- EA
- Embark Studios
- Facepunch
- Gaijin Entertainment
- IO Interactive
- Konami
- Krafton
- miHoYo
- NC
- NetEase Games
- Remedy Entertainment
- Riot Games
- Saber Interactive
- SEGA
- Ubisoft
- Unreal Engine
- Wargaming
- Warhorse Studios
- Xbox
Javelin Anti-Cheat solves the Windows-on-Arm problem
Online multiplayer has been the biggest hurdle for Arm-based Windows machines. Most anti-cheat engines are built for x86 processors and run only on Windows for that architecture, which locks out Arm-based Windows gamers along with Linux players. Without a compatible anti-cheat layer, competitive titles simply refuse to launch.
NVIDIA worked with EA to port the EA Javelin Anti-Cheat system to the RTX Spark Windows-on-Arm platform. Apex Legends previously relied on Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), and the move to Javelin is what makes online play viable on the new hardware. EA has signaled that other developers could follow the same path with their own anti-cheat systems, which would widen the pool of playable online games over time.
Gaming and creator performance targets
For gaming, NVIDIA cites Arc Raiders running at 1440p with more than 100 FPS while ray tracing and DLSS are enabled. The platform ships with the full DLSS suite, including DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction built on the second-generation transformer model, alongside NVIDIA Reflex for responsiveness and G-SYNC support.
Creators get their own set of concrete capabilities. RTX Spark can render 90 GB 3D scenes using NVIDIA’s OptiX ray tracing engine and edit 8K video with 4:2:2 color thanks to hardware encode and decode. FP4 Tensor Cores and the shared memory pool handle current-generation models, while AV1 encoders and NVIDIA Broadcast cover streaming and audio cleanup.
NVIDIA is opening a notification sign-up for both the laptops and the desktops ahead of availability, so you can register to be alerted when devices go on sale. Until Fall 2026, the specifications, game roster, and performance figures above are the confirmed details for what the RTX Spark platform will deliver at launch.
