Computex 2026: Nvidia RTX Spark and DLSS 4.5, what's new

Each year, the Computex trade show in Taipei remains one of the major events in PC hardware. The 2026 edition was no exception, with several announcements that define the trends for the coming months. Here's a rundown of the key takeaways, from both Nvidia and AMD.

Nvidia bets on the unified RTX Spark chip

The most significant announcement comes from Nvidia with the RTX Spark, a chip that combines processor and graphics within a single component, featuring a unified memory architecture. The idea: to bring computing and memory closer together for increased efficiency, in line with what is already seen on certain mobile platforms and consoles.

According to Nvidia, the RTX Spark aims for performance comparable to a mobile RTX 5070 on titles like Doom The Dark Ages or Fortnite, and supports RTX Remix for AI-assisted modding. The first machines equipped with this chip are expected in autumn 2026 from major brands. At this stage, it's primarily a new approach for compact formats; it remains to be seen how it will position itself against classic tower PC configurations.

DLSS 4.5: upscaling continues to evolve

Nvidia also unveiled DLSS 4.5, notably with improved Ray Reconstruction. This image reconstruction technology, which combines upscaling and detail generation, continues to refine itself to offer better visual quality, especially in scenes with ray tracing. Deployment is announced for August 2026.

For gamers, this type of software update is interesting: it often allows for more performance from an already installed graphics card, without changing hardware. The actual gains will depend on compatible games and the GPU generation used.

AMD responds with the Radeon RX 9070 GRE

On AMD's side, Computex 2026 was an opportunity to announce several new products, including the launch of the Radeon RX 9070 GRE. This variant expands the RX 9070 range, already appreciated for 1440p gaming, a segment where competition is particularly fierce. AMD continues to push its 16 GB memory cards, a strong argument for 1440p resolution in the long run.

What to remember for a purchase in 2026?

Beyond the announcements, the market remains driven by concrete choices. For many gamers, a 1440p card with 16 GB, such as an RX 9070 XT or an RTX 5070 Ti, currently represents a rational balance between performance and longevity. The innovations presented at Computex primarily confirm two fundamental trends: the increasing importance of software technologies (upscaling, AI) and the pursuit of more integrated architectures.

• For 1440p gaming: a 16 GB card remains the most durable choice.
• Monitor software updates: a newer DLSS or FSR can extend the lifespan of a GPU.
• Keep a cool head: a trade show announcement is not a readily available product. Real timelines and prices are often confirmed later.
