at the microsoft windows 10 event on october 26, 2016, microsoft announced a version of the surface book that contained an updated nvidia geforce gtx 965m discrete gpu along with an additional 1 gb of gddr5 video memory (meaning the new surface book now has 2 gb of vram instead of 1 gb). the base of this updated surface book is also thicker than the original in order to incorporate an additional cooling fan for the new gpu and more internal batteries, allowing for an additional 4 hours of video playback - upping the total claimed runtime of the device to 16 hours. this model is also heavier and is available only with an intel core i7 processor. there are no upgrades to the processors, ram, or storage in the surface book with performance base over the original.

there is an intel hd graphics 520 gpu available, integrated in all processor options, however it is possible to order a surface book with an additional custom variant of nvidia geforce 940m maxwell-architecture discrete gpu for the improved operation of gpu performance-demanding programs such as adobe premiere pro. during the presentation it was stated that the models with nvidia gpu can comfortably run games with a performance footprint of league of legends. the surface book is able to connect and disconnect the discrete gpu automatically, on-the-fly and without an os reboot needed, when user attaches and detaches the keyboard part.
