NVIDIA and Microsoft have announced RTX Spark, a new Windows PC platform designed around AI-powered workloads, local AI agents, content creation, and gaming. The companies describe RTX Spark as a major step toward a new generation of personal computers built specifically for AI-driven experiences.
At the center of the platform is the RTX Spark superchip, which combines an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU featuring 6,144 CUDA cores with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU connected through NVIDIA’s NVLink-C2C technology. NVIDIA says the chip delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and supports up to 128GB of unified memory, enabling users to run large AI models, handle advanced creative workloads, and play modern games on a single device.
A major focus of the announcement is support for personal AI agents running directly on Windows devices. NVIDIA and Microsoft revealed they are working together on a native Windows framework that allows AI agents to operate securely on users’ primary PCs. The initiative includes new Windows security technologies and NVIDIA OpenShell, a runtime environment designed to give users greater control over what AI agents can access and perform on their systems.
According to NVIDIA, OpenShell can manage privacy settings, determine whether requests should be processed locally or in the cloud, and help protect personal information before data is sent to external services. The technology is already being adopted by projects including Hermes Agent and OpenClaw, which are developing Windows-based AI applications capable of interacting with software, searching files, generating content, and automating workflows.
Beyond AI, RTX Spark devices are being positioned as powerful systems for creators and gamers. NVIDIA says the platform can render 90GB-plus 3D scenes, edit 12K 4:2:2 video, generate 4K AI video content, and run large language models with up to 120 billion parameters and context windows reaching 1 million tokens. For gaming, the company claims RTX Spark can deliver more than 100 frames per second at 1440p resolution while supporting technologies such as ray tracing, DLSS, Reflex, and G-SYNC.
Adobe is among the first major software companies to optimize its applications for the platform. NVIDIA revealed that Photoshop and Premiere are being redesigned to take advantage of RTX Spark hardware, with the company claiming up to twice the AI and graphics performance in creative workflows. Adobe plans to introduce new AI-powered features while expanding support for agent-based assistance directly within its applications.
NVIDIA also highlighted broad industry support for the new platform. More than 100 software developers and technology companies are embracing RTX Spark, including Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI, OTOY, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games, and Xbox. The company says RTX Spark will support the full NVIDIA software ecosystem, including CUDA, RTX, DLSS, TensorRT, OptiX, and upcoming technologies such as DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction.
The hardware itself will be available in multiple form factors. NVIDIA says RTX Spark laptops will be offered in 14-inch to 16-inch configurations, featuring slim aluminum designs, OLED displays, and all-day battery life. Compact desktop systems based on the platform are also planned. Initial hardware partners include ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI, while Acer and GIGABYTE are expected to release models at a later date.
RTX Spark laptops and desktop PCs are scheduled to launch this fall, with additional details regarding Windows AI agent functionality expected to be shared during Microsoft’s Build developer conference on June 2 and June 3.
