Nvidia Shows RTX Spark ARM Laptops Running 60-fps Games as Fall Launch Nears

3 articles · Updated · Gizmodo · Jun 3

Pragmata ran at about 60 fps on preproduction Surface Ultra laptops, with no visible stutter or artifacts despite x86 emulation on Nvidia’s ARM-based RTX Spark chip.
Alan Wake II also ran with path tracing and DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, suggesting Nvidia is using Blackwell GPU power plus software tuning to offset emulation overhead.
Microsoft said it optimized both Windows on ARM and the emulator for RTX Spark, including work on 1% lows, while Nvidia said anti-cheat support is coming for titles such as Fortnite, Valorant and League of Legends.
RTX Spark uses 6,144 CUDA cores and up to 128GB of unified memory, but Nvidia and OEMs still have not disclosed key performance settings, thermals or pricing ahead of a vague fall release.
The demos point to a more credible ARM gaming push than past PC efforts, though Nvidia still must prove broad compatibility across the wider x86 software and game library.
