NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops launch today with hundreds of games and DLSS 5

Translating from the jargon: today is new-hardware day. NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops hit the market today, October 16, with hundreds of compatible games, including CONTROL Resonant, Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite, Gears of War: E-Day, Genshin Impact, Hogwarts Legacy, Honkai: Star Rail, Marvel Rivals, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, NBA 2K27 and World of Warcraft.

NVIDIA brought the full RTX stack to the new platform, including DLSS, Reflex, RTX Remix, G-SYNC and ray tracing, and worked with developers to enable anti-cheat support in popular multiplayer games.

DLSS 5 with a model up to 2x faster

DLSS 5, based on 3D geometry-guided neural rendering, is available on RTX Spark from day one. It uses AI to enhance lighting and materials without changing a game’s art direction. The first update lands in NBA 2K27 today: a new DLSS 5 AI model up to twice as fast that can raise frame rates by up to 1.4x. It also comes to Hogwarts Legacy on November 5 and Where Winds Meet in late November.

On October 23, DLSS 5 also arrives in RTX Remix, letting modders upgrade materials, lighting and shadows in classic games, as in the Fallout 4 RTX project.

Local AI on PC

Alongside the launch, NVIDIA and partners are rolling out new AI tools for RTX PCs: NVIDIA PAIR leaves beta with RTX Spark support, Hugging Face launches Llama Windows for local models from the Windows 11 tray, and the Nemotron 3.5 Bolt models arrive on October 15 and 23 for personal agents and interactive characters. NVIDIA Broadcast, ComfyUI and Adobe apps also get improvements.

In practice, that means the compatibility list already covers today’s most-played games; performance testing comes once the machines hit the stores.
