NVIDIA is asking fans to submit memories of its relationship with Sega ahead of a July 15 guerrilla event in Akihabara, where CEO Jensen Huang will unveil a new SoC called RTX Spark. The event doubles as a public milestone for a partnership that stretches back to 1995, when NVIDIA's first graphics chip, the NV1, was bundled with a Windows port of Sega's Virtua Fighter. The two companies also nearly collaborated on a successor to the Sega Saturn, which would have used NVIDIA's NV2 chip before the project was canceled. NVIDIA will give away a GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition to one attendee drawn at random.
