Nvidia partners with Perplexity to bring Portable Computer AI to Windows PCs on high-end RTX GPUs

Nvidia announced a partnership with Perplexity to bring Perplexity's Portable Computer local-first agentic AI to Windows PCs running Nvidia GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs with 24GB or more of VRAM. Perplexity originally launched Portable Computer for Linux on August 25, 2026; the Windows version runs tasks such as code reviews, financial analysis, and business insights entirely on device, asking user permission before sending content to cloud services. Supported GPUs include the GeForce RTX 3090, 3090 Ti, 4090, and 5090, plus RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation, Max Q, and Server editions.

Perplexity originally launched https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-portable-computer-for-local-first-ai the technology – which runs entirely on device to keep private data local – for Linux on August 25, 2026, but now it’s available on Windows with RTX hardware. Portable Computer is a local-first agentic AI designed to help users with tasks such as code reviews, analysis, and insights. Despite focusing on local workflows, Portable Computer may also access the web for further research, though it will not do so without a user’s permission. Support is only available for RTX and RTX PRO GPUs with 24GB or more VRAM, so these are your main options: GeForce RTX GeForce RTX 3090: 24GB GDDR6X GeForce RTX 3090 Ti: 24GB GDDR6X GeForce RTX 4090: 24GB GDDR6X GeForce RTX 5090: 32GB GDDR7 Latest PC & Tech deals ASUS ROG Strix 34” QD-OLED XG34WCDG - was $7499 now $629 Hisense 75" U8 Series ULED Mini-LED 4K TV - was $1,499 now $1,354 ASUS ROG XG27AQNGV- was $999 now $649 TCL 98 Inch Class QM8L - was $2,499 now $2,309 CyberPowerPC Gaming PC RTX 5060 - was $599 now $459 Prices correct as of August 20th, 2026.

With Perplexity’s Portable Computer, users can delegate those tasks to an agent running on their own PC. Sensitive files can be processed locally without being sent to the cloud, and on-device work doesn’t consume cloud credits. Today, Perplexity and NVIDIA are expanding Portable Computer to Windows PCs , bringing accelerated agentic AI to NVIDIA GeForce RTX PCs and RTX PRO Workstations. Developed with NVIDIA, Portable Computer can plan and carry out multistep tasks on device, with NVIDIA GPUs accelerating the models that power the agent. The agent can help with tasks such as: - Code reviews: Organise open pull requests in a connected GitHub project, identify next steps and flag outdated documentation. - Financial analysis: Review brokerage statements and tax documents locally to identify recurring fees, with findings cited to the relevant file and page. - Business insights: Analyse customer signup data locally to identify where users drop off, then share key findings in a connected Slack channel. When a task calls for web research or more advanced cloud reasoning, Portable Computer asks for permission before sending content to a cloud service, giving users control over what leaves their device. Windows support is available for NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs with 24GB or more of VRAM, building on existing support for DGX Spark and RTX PCs running Linux.
