Your laptop doesn't even have Thunderbolt, where did you connect the GPU?

This type of connection is very wonky and unsupported, if it doesn't work then it doesn't, there could be many reasons of why that is.

Laptops are not the same as PC's, those connections were not designed with a GPU in mind as the connector might be very far from the CPU and it's not up to spec to support a high power GPU (voltage drops and what not).

Its near the CPU, Its powered by its own PSU, and it works on other nVidia cards.
