Technically yes, you can read about it here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7987/running-an-nvidia-gtx-780-ti-over-thunderbolt-2

Yes but you need a 2GB/s connection (like pcie 2.0 x4) to the motherboard to prevent bottlenecking.

So the only way I know something like this could work is like what >>51317501 said.

Even thunderbolt v1 delivers 2.5GB/s of max transfer speed which is more than enough for virtually any graphics card.

You would have to buy an external PSU and the shitty i5 on the laptop would actually boytleneck the GPU since they only clock around 2-3 GHz which results in poor single core performance and therefore less fps.

So for shits and giggles it can be done but just building a desktop with a proper quad-core CPU is better.
