    this script: https://github.com/T-vK/MobilePassThrough is the way i used for testing if GPU passthrough, works on my laptop its has an i7-4820hq in it and a 970m card. My card is non UEFI supported and i think without mod i can boot to a VM with OVMF, so i am passing it through with bios without a .rom file, mb it works for you too. This only works on fedora and if ur laptop is optimus also install bumblebee and nvidia ppa drivers. so far in terms of performance not much sucess it boots ok and it binds and unbinds gpu automatically.
