    CPU Throttling on 15 inch Surface Book 2 after 1709?

    100c it the upper end for intel cpu's. Considering that you were running a stress test, it makes sense that it would hit 100c. I had a monitor running the with some games at it stayed at 90c which is also what my desktop i7 hits when playing games even with a water cooler.

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    I finally got around to backing up about 100GB of stuff of my micro sd card with the ibaso adapter. It copied at a stable 78MBps a second which is way better than I thought with the adapter. It's a grade 3 with write speeds up to 90MBps. I was worried that the adapter would reduce it to a grade...

    SB2 15 inch: How much dedicated vram do our 1060's actually have?

    I figured as much. Speccy in particular doesn't seem to be made with laptops in mind. I had a laptop that read 999C for processor temp, improper reading of RAM timing etc. Thanks for the reply.

    Cannot detach tablet - 3D Paint Running

    Nobody's done a teardown of the 15 inch yet so nothing is confirmed. I suspect that the GPU is in the base like it was on the last surface book. I know when I play a game the fan in the base goes into overdrive. Most likely that program is using the nvidia GPU and it can't swap to the intel gpu...

    SB2 15 inch: How much dedicated vram do our 1060's actually have?

    MS claims an unqualified 6GB of vram. Running tests I'm getting a lot of conflicting results. Speccy claims to only see 2gb. Can I run it only sees 3GB. Nvidia and DX12 check claim 6GB.

    SB2 Windows 10 issues

    Any chance windows onedrive is pulling stuff from your other windows 10 computer(s) to you new computer? Mine keeps doing that. You can open up backed up folders and select which ones you want onedrive so save.

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    I got mine (iSDA 350A) and it fits perfectly flush on my 15 inch surface book 2. That's so fudging weird.

    Nvidia drivers

    I want to back up seneleron's point. I've been using graphics cards since the early days. Every time something has gone wrong in the graphics department, it's been due to me not updating my drivers. It can be annoying since nvidia rolls out on a semi regular basis but in my experience it's...

    SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

    Solid gray is a stress test. I am incapable of see any variation when looking at complex images. I only notice if I'm look for it while viewing large color fields like in browsers.

    SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

    I'm feeling the same way. I just try to focus on what I do like about and fortunately for me there's still plenty to like. I have a 3 grand edge lit LED samsung TV and the uniformity is far poorer than this screen. It's just a problem with how monitors distribute lite on edge lit screens...

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    Too bad. People have commented that the card made for the first surface book has the same problem as this card. It's almost certainly the same card.

    SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

    brightness uniformity is not top in it's class for sure though mine is still very good. I just made some uniform color jpg's to test this. Solid light gray shows variations in uniformity the best in my opinion and though there are some splotches through out the screen I have to hunt for them and...

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    I read this problem all over the questions/review sections on amazon for this adapter. It appears to be a design flaw of the card. Mine's coming today. I'll let you know if it's the same for my 15 inch.

    SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

    That's the worst! I'm sorry to hear about that. What color management settings did you settle on?

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    Got the case in today. I love it. Way smaller form that I thought it would while still seeming like it will protect it in its travels. It also slides in my bookbag with out much trouble. Thanks for the recommendation!

    SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

    If you do end up with the 13 inch let us know what you think. I'm most likely going to get my wife that for her birthday.

    SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

    I've settled for enhanced in color management while stipping down red channel by two steps and and green by one using the calibration tool. Overall I can be satisfied with this.

    SB2 15" display and sRGB/Enhanced settings

    I've done a lot of color balancing and I think that there you and I wynand are of similar minds. We see color balanced monitors as being a little too warm. I have several factory calibrated monitors and they all feel far too warm in tone. I have stupid pet theories as to why that may be but it...

    Forum member hands on reviews of the Surface Book

    Got it last night. Set everything up, installed all of my essential programs and it's what I hoped it would be. The only thing so far that I wish was better is the quality of the screen which is better than average but not up to the standards the price tag would imply. The black levels are...
