Turns out, running games on a specialized device for AI work isn't the best idea.

NVIDIA supplies not only "gaming video cards" to the market; the company has a wide range of products for specialists working with artificial intelligence.

Recently, a tech enthusiast with the nickname Retrotom shared an experiment with the NVIDIA DGX Spark mini-supercomputer. The device performs excellently for AI-related tasks, and now they've tried using it for gaming.

I ran Cyberpunk 2077 on DGX Spark using Box64. Since Spark uses a completely different processor architecture than a gaming PC, Box64 is necessary as it's an x86->ARM emulation layer.

Although DGX Spark is equipped with 128 GB of memory, an NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, and is capable of providing AI performance at 1 petaflop, in terms of gaming performance, it is generally comparable to an RTX 5070.

I got around 50 FPS at 1080p on medium settings. DLSS doesn't seem to be available for resolution scaling. I don't understand why that option isn't showing up. Stability is actually pretty good. I had a few crashes, but overall the game is quite playable. I tested it in both xfce (X11) and Sway (Wayland).
