Look like I solved my problem. Apologize if this was confusing for some to understand, but anyways; it appears that when you use the display port to output video, the surface book uses the DGPU instead of the integrated. The unit now runs much cooler once I switch the setting in the NVidia...

Time to get a surface pro 4

The whole point of the setup is so I can stream what ever i'm drawing on my surface book without the surface book using the cpu/gpu of running the streaming software (obs.) I use the surface book to draw using sketchbook pro, I use a display port(hdmi out) to output the video through a (elgato...

Things I tried so far. I've reinstalled the DGPU/Nvidia graphics drivers from device manager. I played around with the Nvidia control panel quite a bit, I tried making sure sketchbook was running with the dgpu and then tried everything running the dgpu. I still have no idea why this would make...

thanks for the reply. I'm only using a micro hdmi cable to output video to my desktop computer and it's set to duplicate my surface display. So my surface is not running any streaming software only the desktop. This is no difference than hooking up a external monitor to the surface book and...

Do anyone know that the surface dock would possibly relieve stress, heat or cpu usage?

I've noticed that my Surface book gets extremely hot to the point where the unit actually force shuts down due to overheating and throttles the cpu when using my external HDMI and duplicating my surface book display. A little bit about my setup and what I'm doing. I draw using sketchbook pro...

It comes down to budget really. I currently have a sp3. It's already perfect to be honest. For my needs, I do a lot of digital art and that's the only reason why I'm looking to upgrade. I currently use a i7 128gb model of the sp3. But I had the sp3 i5 model before the and the performance was...

True, I was just being optimistic hoping maybe the pressure sensitivity would be in the pen unlike Wacom. With Wacom and Ntrig being different in all (passive/active.)

I have confirmed unfortunately that even with the new surface pen. The 1024 pressure is not present in the sp3. I brought my sp3 to a best buy where they had the display models and tested with Sketchbook Pro. It's still 256. So I guess the pressure sensitivity has something to do with the...

You will be fine. I have a surface pro 3 i7 and owned previous sp3 i5 and sp2 i5. It handled all my productivity apps such as PhotoShop, Sketchbook pro and even my djing and music production software (ablation, tractor pro.) with no problems.

I believe it may be Teal. Their new keyboard color is that color.

They're the same pen. Just different colors. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Microsoft-Surface-Pen/productID.325724000?tduid=(ccbec98c1f2ce5a4804209bc72c1ef6d)(256380)(2459594)(TnL5HPStwNw-DM5vk9prja00UJEEFsEcvA)()

Yeah I believe it's called the g5 chipset which I believe that into the new model. I agree with GreyFox^. I'll try the pen when we get it at my best buy. Unless a Microsoft store gets them as display models.

I believe it works the same way and I have a few supporting reasons why. Buy Microsoft Surface Pen - Microsoft Store ^^^^shows it's compatible with all the surface 3 and sp3. Including of course the surface book and sp4. They purposely design all their products to be interchangeable or...
