NVIDIA and Microsoft announced RTX Spark, a new Windows PC platform designed for the era of personal AI agents. Unveiled at NVIDIA GTC Taipei, RTX Spark combines NVIDIA’s AI, graphics and computing technologies into a single superchip capable of delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, enabling AI agents, creative workloads and gaming experiences directly on consumer devices.
RTX Spark is built around an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores, paired with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU connected through NVLink-C2C. The platform offers up to 128GB of unified memory and is designed for slim Windows laptops and compact desktop systems that prioritize performance, efficiency and all-day battery life.
The announcement marks a major collaboration between NVIDIA and Microsoft to create a Windows-native environment for AI agents. The companies are introducing new Windows security primitives and NVIDIA OpenShell, a runtime environment designed to allow AI agents to operate securely on personal devices while remaining under user control. The platform includes capabilities for identity management, containment, policy controls and privacy protections, including intelligent routing of queries between local and cloud AI models.
RTX Spark is positioned as a platform capable of running large AI models locally, including 120-billion-parameter large language models with context windows of up to one million tokens. NVIDIA said users will be able to render 90GB-plus 3D scenes, edit 12K 4:2:2 video, generate AI video content, and play AAA games at 1440p resolution at more than 100 frames per second using ray tracing, DLSS and Reflex technologies.
More than 100 software companies and developers are supporting the platform, including Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI and OTOY. Gaming partners include KRAFTON, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games and Xbox.
Adobe is working with NVIDIA to redesign key creative applications for RTX Spark. Photoshop and Premiere will be rearchitected to take advantage of the platform’s unified memory architecture, Blackwell GPU and TensorRT software stack, with NVIDIA claiming up to 2x faster AI, editing, color grading and effects performance. Adobe also plans to integrate Windows agents into creative workflows, enabling AI-powered collaboration within applications.
The hardware ecosystem includes support from major PC manufacturers such as ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI, with Acer and GIGABYTE expected to introduce systems later. RTX Spark laptops will feature premium aluminum designs, OLED displays with G-SYNC technology, and form factors as thin as 14 millimeters.
NVIDIA also announced that its collaboration with Microsoft will extend beyond consumer systems through NVIDIA DGX Station for Windows, bringing Blackwell-based AI supercomputing capabilities to enterprise developers building advanced agentic AI applications.
RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs are expected to become available this fall.
KEY QUOTES:
“The PC is being reinvented. 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.”
Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO, NVIDIA
“Our goal is to deliver unmetered intelligence to every home and every desk with Windows. RTX Spark marks a real breakthrough towards that vision.”
Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft
“We are strong supporters of deploying agents like OpenClaw securely into the Windows ecosystem. 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.”
Vincent Koc, Chief Architect, OpenClaw Foundation
“At Nous, we expect tasks to increasingly run on device as personal agents like our Hermes Agent become more capable and ubiquitous. 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.”
Dillon Rolnick, CEO, Nous Research
“The best creative work in the world happens in Adobe tools from Adobe Firefly to Photoshop and Premiere, and the expansion of our partnership with NVIDIA and Microsoft will make those experiences faster and more powerful than ever. Together, we are building AI-native creative experiences for RTX Spark that deliver the performance, intelligence and responsiveness people need to create at the pace of their ambition.”
Shantanu Narayen, Chair and CEO, Adobe
