Is the DGX Spark Being Discontinued? What NVIDIA Says, the 64GB Model, and Where RTX Spark Fits

No, the DGX Spark is not being discontinued. Asked directly on NVIDIA's developer forum, NVIDIA answered "absolutely not." It said it remains committed to DGX Spark and the partners building systems on it, and that more Founders Edition units are in production. What buyers are running into is supply: the NVIDIA-branded unit has become hard to get, and some resellers are calling that "EOL." Meanwhile a 64GB DGX Spark launches through six partners on October 23. NVIDIA has also committed to two more generations of Spark hardware. And RTX Spark, the name now on Windows laptops, is a different product that can't join a cluster as announced.

Below: where the EOL story comes from, what NVIDIA has actually said, how RTX Spark fits in, and what it means for anyone building or growing a GB10 cluster.

Where the "DGX Spark EOL" Story Comes From

The question has been building on NVIDIA's own forum for a month:

• September 22: "Is NVIDIA Abandoning DGX Spark?" opened over rumors that Founders Edition production had stopped. It also raised a stalled Ubuntu 26.04 update and a driver stuck on one branch. It has drawn dozens of replies.
• October 2: "New DGX Spark Production?" asked why units were hard to find under $8,000–10,000. One reply reported a six-month backlog.
• October 19: "DGX Spark EOL?" A buyer in Sweden reported resellers saying they could no longer get NVIDIA-branded units because the product was "EOL," alongside a price rise from about $6,800 to $8,500 per unit including VAT.

The common thread is the NVIDIA-branded Founders Edition. Partner systems on the same GB10 platform were not part of the claim. Forum regulars have pointed out that this is a familiar NVIDIA pattern: launch a Founders Edition, then let partners carry most of the volume, as with its graphics cards.

What NVIDIA Has Actually Said

NVIDIA answered the abandonment thread on October 1, 2026. The points that matter:

• "Absolutely not." NVIDIA "remains committed to DGX Spark and to the OEM partners building systems on the platform."
• Additional Founders Edition versions of DGX Spark are in production. Volumes "naturally fluctuate" with current component market conditions.
• Partners continue to build and sell DGX Spark-based systems through their own channels.
• NVIDIA is working to move DGX Spark users to Ubuntu 26.04 with updated driver and CUDA stacks. It will keep adding features through quarterly software releases.

Two other facts point the same way. The 64GB DGX Spark goes on sale October 23 at $4,999 through Acer, ASUS, Dell, Gigabyte, HP and MSI. You don't launch a new memory tier for a product you are ending. And at Computex 2026, NVIDIA committed to at least two more generations of Spark platforms for its partners: a Vera Rubin generation with LPDDR6, then a Rosa Feynman generation.

The honest reading: the platform is continuing, and partners are carrying most of the volume. The NVIDIA-branded box is scarce and its price has risen with memory costs. If you specifically want the gold Founders Edition, expect to wait or pay more. If you want a GB10 system, partners have them.

RTX Spark Is a Different Product

Part of the confusion is the name. RTX Spark is NVIDIA's Windows on Arm platform, announced at Computex 2026, with systems arriving from fall 2026:

Same class of chip, different job. The reason two DGX Sparks can pool memory is the ConnectX-7 NIC and its two QSFP ports. None of the RTX Spark announcements so far mention ConnectX-7, QSFP or clustering. An RTX Spark laptop is a capable single machine, not a node you can cable to your Spark cluster. If pooling memory across boxes is the point, buy GB10 DGX Spark-class systems.

What It Means If You Are Building a Cluster

• Brand doesn't matter to the cluster. All eight GB10 systems (NVIDIA, ASUS, Dell, HP, MSI, Lenovo, Gigabyte and Acer) share the same ConnectX-7 ports and cluster with each other. If the Founders Edition is scarce where you are, a partner unit joins the same cluster. See Can You Cluster Different GB10 Systems?
• The 64GB model clusters too. Two 64GB units pool 128GB over one cable. A 64GB unit also links to a 128GB one, with caveats on usable memory. See 64GB DGX Spark: How to Connect Two.
• The cable is a safe purchase. One QSFP cable links any two GB10 systems, three make a ring, and the part is the same on every brand.
• Next-generation Sparks are not dated. Vera Rubin Sparks are on the roadmap with no announced ship date. NVIDIA has said nothing yet about their networking, so don't plan a mixed-generation cluster yet.

FAQ

Is the NVIDIA DGX Spark discontinued?
No. Asked directly on NVIDIA's developer forum on October 1, 2026, NVIDIA's answer was "absolutely not," adding that it remains committed to DGX Spark and to the OEM partners building systems on the platform, and that additional Founders Edition units are in production. Supply of the NVIDIA-branded unit fluctuates with component markets, which is why some resellers are telling buyers they can't get it.

Why are resellers saying the DGX Spark is EOL?
Because the NVIDIA-branded Founders Edition has been hard to get. On October 19 a buyer reported resellers saying they could no longer source NVIDIA-branded units, alongside a price rise. NVIDIA's position is that Founders Edition production volumes fluctuate with the memory and component market, while partners keep building and selling GB10 systems through their own channels.

Is RTX Spark the same as DGX Spark?
No. RTX Spark is a Windows on Arm platform for laptops and compact desktops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, MSI and Microsoft Surface, arriving from fall 2026. It shares DGX Spark's class of silicon, with up to 20 Arm cores, a Blackwell GPU and 128GB of memory. DGX Spark is a Linux (DGX OS) development box with a ConnectX-7 200GbE network built in for clustering.

Can an RTX Spark laptop or mini-PC cluster with a DGX Spark?
Not as announced. Clustering on GB10 runs over the DGX Spark's ConnectX-7 QSFP ports, and none of the RTX Spark announcements so far mention ConnectX-7, QSFP ports or clustering. If you need to pool memory across machines, you need DGX Spark-class GB10 systems, which every major partner still sells.

Will my DGX Spark cluster cables still work with new GB10 systems?
Yes. Every GB10 system, including the new 64GB model and partner units from ASUS, Dell, HP, MSI, Lenovo, Gigabyte and Acer, has the same ConnectX-7 200GbE QSFP ports. The same cable links any two of them. Resilient Tec sells the NJAAKK-N911 compatible QSFP112 stacking cable for $154 and the MCP1650-V00AE30 200G DAC for $84, both new with a lifetime warranty. (Prices checked October 19, 2026.)

Does NVIDIA have a roadmap for future Spark systems?
Yes. At Computex 2026 NVIDIA committed to at least two more generations of Spark platforms for its partners: a Vera Rubin generation with LPDDR6 memory, followed by a Rosa Feynman generation. Jensen Huang said every future platform generation will include a Spark chip.

Should I buy a DGX Spark now or wait?
If you need a GB10 box now, partner systems from ASUS, Dell, HP, MSI, Lenovo, Gigabyte and Acer are the most available route, and the 64GB model adds a lower-cost entry from October 23. Vera Rubin-generation Sparks are on NVIDIA's roadmap but have no announced ship date. Whatever you buy, the GB10 cluster cable is the same part across every brand.
