The company also unveiled DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction with a second-generation transformer model, promising improved image quality and performance in ray-traced games and applications. The RTX Spark will launch this fall in laptops from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI, with support from over 100 software providers including Adobe and Blender.", "body_md": "NVIDIA used Computex 2026 to formally announce the RTX Spark \"superchip\" designed for AI, creating and gaming along with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction.\n\nWhile a lot of what they're talking about for the RTX Spark related to AI workflows, they do also say it will be a good chip for gaming - primarily designed for laptops to give good overall performance. It features an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect to a high-performance, 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU. This Arm-based CPU was made in partnership with MediaTek.\n\n“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.”\n\nFrom the press release:\n\nRTX Spark delivers the full NVIDIA AI and graphics technology stack to creators, AI developers and gamers.\n\nUsers can render ultralarge 90GB 3D scenes with OptiX and DLSS, edit 12K 4:2:2 video with the NVIDIA Blackwell decoder, run 120-billion-parameter large language models with 1 million tokens context, and play AAA games at 1440p resolution and over 100 frames per second with ray tracing, DLSS and Reflex.\n\nIn addition to support for existing technologies, RTX Spark will power new RTX capabilities, including DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction featuring a second-generation transformer model — coming to Blender 5.3 and dozens of games — and RTX Video with 4x Frame Generation, coming to ComfyUI.\n\nRTX technology boosts performance, enhances image quality and adds powerful AI features in over 1,000 games and applications. Over 100 Windows software providers such as Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI and OTOY, and game developers such as KRAFTON, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games and XBOX are embracing the new RTX Spark platform.\n\nIt will be thoroughly interesting to see how the RTX Spark will work under Linux, since they're really only talking about Windows right now since it will launch with a bunch of laptops from various vendors like ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI \"this fall\" with Acer and GIGABYTE to follow later.\n\nHopefully it won't take too long to get support for it under various Linux distributions.\n\n[View cookie preferences](/index.php?module=cookie_prefs).\n\n[Direct Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4nJo-oqAro)\n\nDLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction was their other major announcement, which has a 2nd generation transformer model to deliver superior image quality in ray-traced and path-traced games. It's set to arrive in August with several major improvements:\n\nEfficient Denoiser:The new model delivers 35% more compute capability, and processes 20% more parameters, while maintaining similar performance to the previous model.Enhanced Super Resolution:Building upon the advances from DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, the model has deeper spatial awareness across every scene, and more intelligently uses game engine pixel sampling and motion data. The result is improved lighting accuracy, better temporal stability and clearer motion in ray-traced and path-traced content.Expanded Training Dataset:Trained on a larger dataset, the new model is even better at image reconstruction. This intelligence gives the model even better awareness to pick the most accurate engine data to reconstruct scenes closer to ground truth.Finer Developer Control:The new model provides developers with finer control for temporal accumulation, providing precise tuning of model response for even better image quality.\n\nSee their video on it below:\n\n[View cookie preferences](/index.php?module=cookie_prefs).\n\n[Direct Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvSYk0PjLrU)\n\n**Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:**\n\n**All posts need to**\n\n[follow our rules](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?module=rules).

Too much fear to cables begin to burn, to much electricity required to run (my whole PC runs with 550W) and in summer it is hot enough inside my rooms, even without an additional heater, not to mention Linux drivers (don't want the proprietary ones).\n\nQuoting: scaineIf it's \"good for AI\", then it's definitely not \"good for gaming\", [...]Exactly. They probably call it \"good\", because they can enable multi-fake-frames plus upscaler to achieve high resolution and high frame-rate, but don't speak about the high input lag and image artifacts.\n\n[Who?](/index.php?module=who_likes&comment_id=295377)\n\nQuoting: mr-victoryPrice range?Somewhere between the future of personal computing and your soul.\n\n[Who?](/index.php?module=who_likes&comment_id=295382)\n\nQuoting: mr-victoryPrice range?Depends on vendors building with it, not since any specific prices yet.\n\n[Who?](/index.php?module=who_likes&comment_id=295384)\n\nQuoting: suchwhat future? 😭Quoting: mr-victoryPrice range?Somewhere between the future of personal computing and your soul.\n\n[Who?](/index.php?module=who_likes&comment_id=295385)\n\nQuoting: Liam Squires-HandSay, ah, none of my business I suppose but I'm curious--why the name shift?
