Need Help Getting Weird GPU Working

[Juim1j]

So I got scammed and bought a really weird GPU.

Apparently it's an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M that ASUS got and sticked it into a PCIE card with an HDMI and VGA ports. They used it in their prebuilt systmes. It's described in full detail here:

It doesn't have a power connector and runs completly off the power that the PCIE slot supplies it. I can go into my Desktop but my monitor resolution isn't available to select. I haven't tried gaming yet for that reason.

Now I read on this site that in probably only runs on their prebuilt systems due to some strange reason and I was thinking if there was a way to getting it working since I don't have any more money to buy a new GPU abd given that the card doesn't accept neither the 950 or 950M drivers from NVIDIA's website.

(Use Google Translate in Google Chrome to read it.) (Thx Gewgul <3)

So I saw that video with Linus getting a modded driver and getting that mining 1060 working and I was wondering if something like that is possible here.
If there's any tech genie that has any knowledge on how to get it to work that'd be great.

 

Thanks.

oh ok thats really shitty, the 950m is garbage and your stuck with it now i guess. It is bad for gaming and if you still have money id buy a used rx 570 for less than 150 usd

Thing is I'm not even sure. This PC is like 6 yo and I got it used with 3 years (it's my first PC). When I tried to see the PSU all I could see it was 500W but I don't trust it to run any GPU. It's from a brand I've never seen before. Halfmman. http://www.halfmman.com/

Here's my problem, I'm 17 and was gonna build my first PC as soon as I turned 18 and got access to my other bank account. But that's still 11 months away and I don't wanna blow any more money on this bich. Is a 30$ GT 1030 worth it?

i mean if its your only option then it will be ok i guess, your looking at low settings but you should still get 60 fps
