Help with eGPU

[Rampakslue]

Hi, so I need help figuring out how to use the egpu to run games on the internal display instead of having to use an external display to use the GPU. This is so that i can game while i'm home for winter break away from my desktop which is still at the dorm.

 

This is my setup:

HP Spectre x360 15

i7-8550U w/8GB of Ram

dGPU MX150 (currently disabled)

 

The external GPU i'm trying to use is a Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Edition 1080 Ti

The case is the Akitio Node

 

I'm at a loss of what to do now. The 1080 Ti drivers are installed, the PCIe connection between MX150 and cpu is disabled. The 1080Ti shows up on geforce experience and in device manager, but when I try to launch Nvidia Control Panel, it says no Nvidia GPU is detected.... I don't know what else to try. Any advice and help would be appreciated.

Thanks

How have you connected the EGPU with your laptop?
