It's definitely way too early to come to that conclusion. GreyFox7, can you run firestrike so we can get a similar comparison?

Here are the results of running Firestrike, newest drivers second: Score: 563 Definitely much different. Unfortunately I don't remember the score with the first one.

I have the i7. Which may explain the difference. I guess I expected them to be somewhat similar. Also, your processor seems to runat max turbo for a while where mine never really does, at least in the XTU sress tests. Looking back at my graphs its interesting to see the temp drop so...

My results seem to be very different from yours, GreFox7, and this is with the newest firmware... CPU Stress test: GPU Stress test: I wonder if my unit is defective because my GPU never seems to go over 600MHz.

This was just ProcThrottleMin set. My GPU never seems to go over 600....even with the XTU GPU test.

So I did a little experimenting with the throttle max and min and found something interesting. I've been running siege battles in Mount and Blade: Warband as my "stress" test and here is a picture of the XTU graphs for one battle (game starts when processor and temp spike). Notice how quickly...

GreyFox, it's good to see that someone else is taking an active role in trying to reduce throttling on the SP3. I really want to keep this thing but the level of throttling makes it hard for me. I actually started a thread similar to this on another forum and have been trying to reduce...

Not according to MS: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/why-surface/for-gaming It's getting a little annoying hearing many in these forums tell everyone else how they should use their computer. The SP2 ran plenty of games, yes the were on low settings but for the casual gamer this was not...

No one really answered the op on this. I know it's a bit old but this is important to me as well.

I completely agree with dman27. While some of us may have no problems with throttling, that in no way justifies the throttling problems. The reality is that MS advertises that you can play games (LoL, Civ 5, etc.) on a sp3 which is true for 5min or so and then the game is completely...
