We’d love to add some more productivity tests that can leverage the GPU as well, so if you have any feedback please reach out.Īs with the CPU tests, most of the notebooks the Surface Book 3 will be compared against will be Ultrabooks with no GPU. To see how the new Surface Book 3 fares in GPU tests, we’ve run it through our gaming workloads. so from a TDP standpoint, the Quadro RTX 3000 is the next closest thing available. NVIDIA's notebook GPU stack is notably inconsistent between the GeForce and Quadro families, and the company doesn't have a true Quadro equivalent of the GTX 1660 Ti. That said, on paper the Quadro RTX 3000 is perhaps a bit too powerful for a device like the Surface Book 3 – it's almost certainly running at the lower-end of its TDP range to fit in here – which is a hint that there's more going on. From a hardware perspective the Quadro RTX 3000 is functionally equivalent to the GeForce RTX 2060, with 1920 CUDA Cores, so it is a bit of a surprise that Microsoft didn't make a GeForce RTX 2060 an option. This is an even more powerful GPU than the GTX 1660 Ti, so not only should you see better performance, but you get NVIDIA's RT cores as well. The new Turing-based GPUs don’t offer the ray-tracing hardware found on the RTX series, but are both a big step-up from the outgoing models in all other respects.įor the first time ever, Microsoft is also offering a Quadro option as well, with the Quadro RTX 3000. Meanwhile the bigger 15-inch Book 3 upgrades from the outgoing GTX 1060 to the GTX 1660 Ti. That’s a big upgrade over the outgoing GTX 1050 in the smaller Book.
You can still opt for the 13.5-inch model without a GPU, or get it with the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q. And both are fantastically affordable.The original Surface Book shipped with a relatively meager GPU in the keyboard base, but Microsoft added the Performance Base as a mid-cycle refresh which redefined the Surface Book category. Both are simple, yet protective sleeves that will cradle your Surface Laptop 3, in the case of the Lacdo even keeping it dry in an unfortunate situation. Great alternatives if you're looking for something a little more wallet-friendly come from AmazonBasics (opens in new tab) and Lacdo (opens in new tab). You can get one in a vertical form if you'd rather, and if you're looking for a better way to carry, you can choose to add a D-ring or an entire strap. It's a high-quality product made not only from premium materials that offer protection and durability, but also that offers flexibility. And when it comes to Surface, Waterfield Designs is still making our favorite sleeve, the SleeveCase, now available for the new, larger Surface Laptop 3.
Surface Laptop 3 is a laptop that you want to look after, not least because it's a pretty serious financial investment. Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you.
