What does g sync ready means?
Can you use g sync with the SB2 and an external g sync monitor? And in that case through which port (because the port needs to be directly link to the Gpu right?) ? Do I need the surface dock to do so?
Hi Arnaudmk,
As your concern, The GTX 1050 and 1060 does supports G-SYNC technology. However, all display outputs are wired through the Integrated GPU. And the dGPU is only used for rendering only. So far as I know I think you can’t take advantage of G-SYNC monitor with the Surface Book 2.
Oh I see, thank you for your answer as well as your article!
