So I recently watched a video from a youtuber called LowSpecGamer titled "An External GPU for an old Laptop?" In the video he uses an old netbook with the video card dock and it seems that it works to some extent. He also mentions in the video that he ran into a heavy CPU bottleneck. This left me wondering if this would work even better for me than shown in the video since I'm also using an older laptop (getting close to 3 years now), but instead of having a crappy celeron chip I have a third gen i7 in my laptop (which was originally purchased for school work that included virtualisation.)
How much performance degradation should I expect if I bought this?
The video in question.

My current laptop's specs are as follows...
i7-3630QM @ 2.4
GT 630M
tl;dr Video Card Dock that uses the Mini PCI-E slot on your Laptop to run an external video card.
