NVIDIA Opens Reservations for the DGX Spark "Project DIGITS" Desktop Supercomputer

GTC brings more details on the former Project DIGITS, while also unveiling the bigger and more powerful DGX Station.

NVIDIA has taken to the stage at its annual GPU Technology Conference (GTC) to announce that it is ready to deliver on its promise of an artificial intelligence supercomputer on every desk — opening reservations for the DGX Spark, formerly Project DIGITS, while also unveiling the more powerful DGX Station.

The DGX Spark, the smaller of the two systems, isn't strictly speaking a new announcement: NVIDIA unveiled the device in January as Project DIGITS, promising that it would "put a petaflop of AI computing performance" on anyone's desk. Now, the company is prepared to offer more specifics: a device, in a form factor inspired by Intel's NUC family and the Apple Mac Mini, which uses an NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip "optimized for a desktop form factor" paired with 128GB of unified system memory to deliver a claimed 1,000 tera-operations per second (TOPS) of sparse FP4-precision compute.

The DGX Station, meanwhile, is a larger version of the Project DIGITS ideal — packing the larger GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip with 72-core Grace Neoverse V2 CPU and up to 784GB of coherent memory. Like the DGX Spark, the DGX Station supports FP4 precision for high-performance compute — though this time NVIDIA isn't sharing precise specifications until closer to general availability. It has, however, confirmed that the machine includes a ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, a network interface card with support for 800Gb/s throughputs — making it possible to connect multiple DGX Stations together for distributed compute.

Other announcements made during GTC 2025 include: the release of NVIDIA Dynamo, an open source library that the company claims can boost throughput of popular models like DeepSeek-R1 thirtyfold on Blackwell hardware; the release of RTX PRO Blackwell graphics cards for data centers, desktops, and laptops; the release of Isaac GR00T N1, a humanoid robot foundation model; and the open-for-developer-program-members Llama Nemotron family of "reasoning" large language models (LLMs).

More information on the DGX Station is available on the official product page; the company is also taking reservations for the DGX Spark, priced at $3,999 for a model with 4TB SSD, $8,049 for two units with connecting cable, or $2,999 for an Asus-branded version dubbed the Ascent GX10 with 1TB SSD.
