The Surface Book 3 starts at $1,699.99 for the 13.5-inch model and $2,299.99 for the 15-inch model. It is one of the innovative features that allow the Surface Book devices to wear many hats, specifically that of gaming and graphic intensive creations.īy giving consumers the option of a Quadro RTX 3000, Microsoft is broadening its audience with the Surface Book 3 even though I did not see anywhere that the Surface Book 3 is getting NVIDIA’s Studio drivers. I do not see it being very likely since the Studio drivers were specific to NVIDIA’s Turing technology, which the GTX 1660 Ti does not have. Since the GTX 1660 Ti does not have them, I do not see why Microsoft would separately add the drivers to the Quadro version. That said, you can always download the Studio GPU drivers yourself from NVIDIA’s site here and this most recent release unsurprisingly adds support for the GeForce 16 Ti. The new Surface Book 3 rocks 15-watt Intel’s 10th Gen Core Processors with the choice of NVIDIA GeForce GTX or Quadro RTX discrete GPUs. Microsoft says it is up to 50% more performance than the Surface Book 2. It was incredible at the time that Microsoft could fit a 1050 in the Surface Book 2, and I am amazed it can fit not only a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but also the option for an RTX Quadro 3000. The discrete GPU is in the base, but I’m still impressed. I think the NVIDIA 1660 Ti will meet the demand of most users that get the Surface Book 3 especially as it is the most power efficient performance per watt GPU on the market according to Tom’s Hardware. As we see other content creator devices coming out and NVIDIA and the PC industry pushing its creator initiative, I can safely say the Surface Book 3 is arguably the most versatile creator laptop on the market. From the raw specs, it is a powerhouse in a tablet form factor, unlike anything else. I believe the Surface Book 3 release has been perfectly timed.
