Is it possible to play games on NVIDIA GB10? Yes. Is it sensible? Absolutely not — but it does work.
NVIDIA’s DGX Spark is a micro-desktop system designed to accelerate development of software that will be deployed on NVL72 and NVL144 rack systems featuring hundreds or thousands of NVIDIA GPUs. In essence, it’s a tiny computer that includes the GB10 Superchip, which uses the same CPU and GPU architectures found in the Grace CPUs and Blackwell GPUs of something like GB200 NVL72. This allows for rapid deployment of software developed on the DGX Spark.
Of course, since it’s a full-featured computer with CPU and GPU, you can run games on it, right? Absolutely—with caveats. For starters, this machine is expensive, and buying it for gaming is a ludicrous proposition. There’s also the little catch that it uses an Arm-based processor which isn’t natively compatible with x86 software, including virtually all PC games. And of course, it runs Linux, although that part in itself is a much smaller worry these days.Image: /u/Retrotom on Reddit
You can still run native Windows PC games on it, though, with some fiddling. Redditor /u/Retrotom managed to get everyone’s favorite benchmark Cyberpunk 2077 running at a playable framerate on the DGX Spark by using an emulation layer called Box64. This allows you to run x86-64 software on Arm processors. After doing that, you’ll have to install Steam through Box64, because there is no Arm version of Steam yet.
