connect laptop to gpu

[jbaker22]

Hello, I would like to know If I can connect a gpu to my laptop with these adapters, and I will use my own power supply. The PE4C adapter costs $44, but this is $25. Thanks for any advice

Neither of those will work. AFASIK thunderbolt is the only way to connect a GPU to a laptop with sufficient speed to work.

A few proprietary laptop docks will do it too.

Instead of basically trying the impossible, you may want to look into programs like Steam in-home streaming and Limelight. Basically the game runs on a desktop with a hefty GPU. The desktop compresses the image to a H.264 stream, and the stream is sent to your laptop where it gets displayed as if the game were running on the laptop. Keyboard and mouse inputs are sent to the desktop.
