Hello, recently I bought what I believe to be a mpcie to pcie adapter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/231609941213?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true I unplugged the wireless card on my dell latitude d630. I plugged my desktop power supply into the board for power and kept the 6 pin power plugged into my amd r9 370. I plugged my gpu into the pice of the adapter and powered my pc up. I then powered up my laptop and looked for new hardware in terminal using lspci. I saw no new hardware or any saying amd/advanced micro incorporated/radeon on linux mint. I then booted up a copy of windows 10 which had the gpu drivers installed already. I saw no new devices or anything amd related in device manager. I had also tried booting up the laptop before powering the pc power supply with no success. Thanks for any advice.
pcie adapter fake product or incompatible computer?

Not necessarily a fake product, but while it may plug in that port might not support PCIe, not all of them do.
