Nvidia said Adobe Photoshop and a beta of Premiere have day-one support, along with local AI agents such as Hermes and OpenClaw and games including Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite and NBA 2K27 with DLSS 5. Adobe said separately on October 15 that Photoshop, Premiere and Substance 3D were optimized for the chip.
Microsoft introduced the Surface Laptop Ultra at its October 6 Windows event alongside Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang. In the launch release, Huang said RTX Spark brings Nvidia AI, RTX graphics and CUDA together with Windows in one PC.
