Will a Alienware GPU AMP Bottleneck a GTX 1080 ti

So I'm going to ask this again and here are some of the things I don't want as answers:

That's to much GPU, Have you seen a GPU price lately, and why the fudge would you buy a laptop.

These are all of the useless responses I have gotten in the past.

The answer to these questions are as follows:

I plan on doing triple 1080p and possibly 4k in the near future.

I don't plan on spending $1200 on a 1080 ti, as I'm pretty sure I can get one for MSRP.

I need the laptop for work.

 

Now for the actual question.

Will a Alienware graphics amp plugged into a laptop with a intel 6700hq bottleneck a GTX 1080 ti? And if so by how much?

If you tell me that my forum post is in the wrong location............ I'll hunt you down and....

I have a Alienware 17r4 with a internal 1070, bought a zotac 1080ti amp edition and plays games at full throttle,i did change the psu to a EVGA but you dont have to,my cpu is a 7820HK,but Alienware did tell me the card is not supported so the internal 1070 has to be turned off manually and they are correct
