DGX Spark: Nvidia advises using DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation to play Cyberpunk 2077 on $4k 'AI supercomputer'
Over a month has elapsed since Nvidia unveiled the DGX Spark running an Ubuntu fork. For context, the DGX Spark is available either as a Founders Edition (curr. $4,409 on Amazon) or from partners like MSI, which has repackaged it as the EdgeXpert AI.
On the face of it, Nvidia advertises the DGX Spark as an 'AI supercomputer on your desk' thanks to its theoretical one petaFLOP of AI performance, thanks to a 20-core CPU and a Blackwell architecture GPU. However, some people have been attempting to get games running on Nvidia's ARM-based mini-PC, including YouTuber ETA Prime.
Initially, ETA Prime showcased the DGX Spark's capabilities at emulating PlayStation 3 and Xbox games, which are often beyond the capabilities of modern mini-PCs and gaming handhelds. Subsequently, a Redditor revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 runs on the DGX Spark too, albeit not very well. Instead, u/Retrotom only managed to extract around ~50 FPS from the DGX Spark with Cyberpunk 2077 running at medium graphics settings.
Noticing community interest in gaming on the DGX Spark, Nvidia has since published a short guide on improving gaming performance. Embedded below, the crux of the advice is to enable DLSS with Multi Frame Generation (MFG). Allegedly, this boosts performance to over 175 FPS at 1080p high settings with Ultra Ray Tracing enabled. It is worth stressing that this frame rate is artificial and is not indicative of the DGX Sparks' true performance.
