Try reducing the resolution in settings at least one step down from the native 3000 by 2000.

I bought the Surface book 3 a few weeks ago. It just installed some updates and now my Nvidia card has disappeared from the device manger.
It was working properly before the updates go installed so now I am suspecting it's something to do with the windows updates. My surface book hasn't received the latest 2004 windows update yet. I have already gone through the Nvidia driver experience app to manual install the graphics card driver but it says it can't detect any graphics card. I am pretty sure a brand new 3grand machine will not be equipped with a faulty graphics card, because that will be stupid. Will be contacting MS soon. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

Lately it has been so bad it disappears within minutes of turning on the laptop. Makes it very frustrating to play, and also to watch any movie with the quality dropping out.

3k 2k is too high for the hardware to manage demanding graphics
so the manager kicks driver connection to the dedicated gpu in favor of the integrated
