Computex 2026: Nvidia launches RTX Spark, DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction and more

We are kicking off our Computex 2026 coverage with Leo's breakdown of Nvidia's keynote. As you may expect, AI was at the very top of Nvidia's presentation, but there were also some GeForce-related announcements for gamers too. Perhaps the most revealing moment of the entire presentation came when Jensen remarked that ‘a long time ago Nvidia used to be a GPU company’ – a statement that says a great deal about where the company sees its future.

The biggest announcement from Nvidia this week is the launch of RTX Spark. This is Nvidia's new ‘superchip' for Windows laptops and as you may expect, many OEMs are already on board with new designs. RTX Spark is intended to allow the masses to run personal AI agents at home. Nvidia claims a massive 1 Petaflop of AI performance from RTX Spark systems, as well as support for up to 128GB of unified memory, and LLMs running at 120B parameters, all running locally. The likes of Microsoft, Lenovo, HP, Dell and Asus will be shipping RTX Spark laptops later this year.

On the gaming front, Nvidia has DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction arriving in August. This update brings a new transformer model with improved compute capability and spatial awareness, allowing for better ray-tracing effects while using DLSS upscaling. Soon. DLSS 4.5 will be available as a UE5 plugin, while software like Nvidia ACE will get multi-lingual support.

Nvidia has also reached a new milestone with over 1000 games and apps now supporting RTX features in one form or another. In the near future, Nvidia hardware partners will begin shipping more RTX 5090-equipped gaming laptops, new G-Sync displays with support for up to 1000Hz refresh rates and more.
