Virtua Fighter Crossroads will help showcase gaming on Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform

Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform has landed one of its first major games. Sega has confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will run on RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs when the game arrives in 2027. More Sega titles are also heading to the platform, although neither company has named them yet.
The announcement also marks more than 30 years of collaboration between Nvidia and Sega, a relationship that began when Nvidia’s NV1 graphics chip helped bring the original Virtua Fighter to PC. Sega later helped keep the young chipmaker alive by turning a $5 million payment into an investment when Nvidia was close to running out of money.
What exactly is RTX Spark?
RTX Spark is Nvidia’s new chip for slim Windows laptops and compact desktop PCs, which the brand unveiled at Computex 2026. It combines a 20-core Grace CPU, a Blackwell RTX GPU with up to 6,144 CUDA cores, and as much as 128GB of unified memory.
RTX Spark was built mainly for agentic AI and creative work, but Nvidia also showed at Computex that it can handle games. Its built-in GPU is expected to perform around the level of a laptop RTX 5070 and supports ray tracing, DLSS, Reflex, and G-Sync. We will have to wait for independent testing to see how it performs in practice, as RTX Spark systems have not reached the market yet.
Virtua Fighter Crossroads should be a useful early showcase. Fighting games depend on stable frame rates, low input delay, and consistent frame pacing, so RTX Spark will need to deliver more than impressive specifications on paper.
Will the game run natively?
RTX Spark uses an Arm-based processor, while most Windows games are still built for x86 chips. Nvidia and Sega have not explained whether Virtua Fighter Crossroads will get a native Arm64 version or rely on Windows’ translation layer.
A native release would likely deliver better performance and lower latency, which matters a lot in a fighting game. Until Nvidia or Sega shares more details, it is hard to know how well Crossroads will represent gaming on RTX Spark. The first RTX Spark systems are expected this fall from Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI.

HP fined millions of dollars for acting like a cartel over ink and PCs
HP helped rig bids for ink and computers. The bill is nearly $15 million
If you've ever purchased printer ink, you're aware of the annoyingly expensive cost behind something that seems so basic. But HP's latest problem goes considerably further. India’s Competition Commission has fined HP India and 21 of its resellers a combined 1.42 billion rupees, or roughly $15 million, after finding that they rigged bids for government contracts involving personal computers, toner, cartridges, and other printer supplies. The orders cover tenders placed through the Government e-Marketplace between 2017 and 2020.

Lenovo’s new gaming laptop is the first to feature a 240Hz inkjet-printed OLED display
TCL’s inkjet-printed OLED technology finally reaches a commercial laptop through Lenovo
TCL has spent years saying inkjet-printed OLED could improve image quality, efficiency, lifespan, and manufacturing costs. Back in 2024, the company was still showing prototype laptop panels and promising a “comprehensive breakthrough” once the technology was ready for commercial products.
Two years later, it has finally arrived in a gaming laptop. Lenovo’s new Legion R9000P uses a 16-inch panel that TCL CSOT describes as the world’s first inkjet-printed OLED display integrated into a laptop.
This new Mac malware won’t let you use your computer until you surrender your password
This Mac malware turns your own computer against you
A newly discovered strain of macOS malware is taking social engineering to an unsettling new level. Instead of exploiting a software vulnerability or silently stealing information in the background, it simply refuses to let you use your Mac until you type in your login password.
Dubbed ClickLock, the malware repeatedly shuts down key macOS processes, disables notifications, displays convincing Apple password prompts, and effectively traps users in a loop that only ends when the correct password is entered. Once that happens, it doesn't just steal the password. It goes after browser data, cryptocurrency wallets, saved credentials, password managers, and much more.
