I use this ones, which are the latesr for intel hd 615.

I have never had a single issue with openGL either. I use windows 1809 on win 2.

These are the same drivers that I tried. They're also the drivers that are recommended by the Intel Update & Support Utility.

What I also did is run Windows DISM and SFC command but it didn't find any problems. No corrupted or missing files.

That's strange then if you have issues. Maybe some windows update went wrong or something is missing in your windows, because those drivers run fine to me on 1809. Didn't try them on 1803 though.

Alien Grey · « **Reply #63 on:** October 14, 2018, 08:35:35 am »

That's why I checked it with DISM and SFC and nothing seems to be wrong.

Edit: I did a bit of research and it looks like I'm not the only one with this issue. https://intel-openport-v8.hosted.jivesoftware.com/thread/129727

Real HDMI (big one), no fan, IPS screen not mobile one, bigger screen, smaller bezels,possibility to add ram a change ssd with reasonable form factor, good wifi and bluetooth and finally good build quality. Bios where are items really working, or are hidden..

Well...

I upgraded my GPD Win 2 to Windows 10 1803. There's absolutely no need to use and stay on a older build with the GPD Win 2. The DDraw full screen compatibility issue is still not fixed but maybe this is because display scaling now actually works with the new Intel HD graphics drivers.

The issues I had with the driver being unstable is just because of the old Windows 10 build I used that was no longer compatible with the new drivers.

Here's an idea for the GPD Win 3: you could use Intel's new big.LITTLE CPU that is coming out next year: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13699/intel-architecture-day-2018-core-future-hybrid-x86/7

Super compact, 4 small "Atom" cores and one big "Core" core, and a nice wide 64EU GPU that will probably be super efficient when run at low clocks. Plus support for LPDDR4. And it is apparently targeting "sub-7W". Sounds perfect for a gaming handheld.

Actually the Intel M.3 7y30 is more efficient than the atom in every way, consume less power for same tasks, and as much power idle so there's no need to switch to such Cpu.

The new Icelake core is meant to be much wider than Skylake, and the latest Atom cores are more capable than the old Silvermont derived cores. It's like four cores partway between the Win and Win2 in per-core performance, plus one BIG core.

MOFO · « **Reply #70 on:** December 16, 2018, 02:10:39 pm »

I think the main thing to take away from that is the 64EU cores which should be a nice boost in graphics power.
Depending on how fast the CPU is it maybe a nice alternative to the m3 y730 and m3 y8100.

Small bezel and 7" screen for sure. I have the Mi Max 3 with the same screen and it is easily pocketable. Bezel size matters more than screen size to the final product size.

Right side here

MOFO · « **Reply #72 on:** December 18, 2018, 02:34:47 pm »

Totally agree, you can easily fit a 7? screen in the Win2, the GPD Pocket screen would be a nice fit.

Smoker1 · « **Reply #73 on:** December 28, 2018, 03:22:21 am »

Only things I could suggest as Improvements for the Win 3:

Clickable L/R 3 Joysticks

Screen Resolution able to be 1600x900 (Certain Apps, Cheat Happens Trainer Manager for example, runs higher than 1280x720, and can NOT be Resized)

Get rid of the Micro/Mini HDMI. Users can use a USB Adapter to connect to External Displays

For GPD XD next Gen Model -
Get rid of Micro/Mini HDMI and replace with Full USB-A Connector for USB Storage. This will be VERY useful if GPD Limits the Storage to 16/32GB . 64GB should be Standard, with 128GB as Special Edition. Or at least let Users be able to use M.2 SSD.

May be simply remove controller from main body all together and make keyboard detachable.
it should look similar to this but smaller.

[Benefits]
- It make device even smaller and might give extra space to add more thing inside for better performance or simply more usb slot.

- Touch screen easier to use with both hand while handheld.

- Allow player attach the device with 3rd party gamepad of choice which very cheap and easy to find in today market. (truly GPD can offer one themselve) now broken gamepad no longer affect to the device.

- Like gamepad..broken keyboard also not affect to main device and can easily replace with the new one.

- Device look more unique and nolonger look like copy of Nintendo device.

Sounds similar to the Linx Vision:

TGHoly · « **Reply #76 on:** January 06, 2019, 09:53:25 am »

the different is GPD design would small enough to fit inside pocket.

I really don't like Linx Vision controller design... If I got one I would prefer using Ipega 9023 instead of it's official. XD

So after using my WIN 2 for a couple of weeks now some things I would improve:

1) Bigger screen for sure.
While the screen is of good quality and overall very good W10 and gaming need more screen just to make things more easy on the eyes.
2) Have a fan that is not as loud if possible.
It doesnt bother me that much but it could still be improved.
3) clickable sticks.
I have got used to the L3/R3 placement but clickable sticks would just make everything so much easier.
4) use TGHoly idea of a tablet style
I would not mind GPD looking into making a tablet style model. You can use a 10 inch screen and still have room for a decent detachable keyboard.
Now that Im thinking about a 10/11 inch laptop with 1080p screen would be amazing and address all those issues.
You would have more room for better cooling and better fans that are not as loud, more room for full size ports and bigger battery while still being very portable.
Sort of like the MicroPC but bigger and slightly thinner and better specs.

TGHoly · « **Reply #78 on:** January 06, 2019, 08:16:00 pm »

Yeah GPD PC tablet sound amazing! But truly I'm more expect PC gaming on my phone if possible, So... I don't have to hold both device at same time anymore event GPD phone might bulkier than many smart phone XD. (even better if that phone has GPD win2 performance)

The WIN 3 should have the form factor of the OCOSMO OCS1 :
