So I'm quite interested in purchasing an ASUS MB16AC for my LAN rig to scratch the maximum-portability itch I have, but I'm having quite the time trying to locate a discrete GPU that has a USB-C connector on it.
According to the FAQ section of displayport.org DP over USB-C should provide the necessary power:

Has anyone found a discrete GPU that provides a USB-C connection (other than the vaper-hardware MSI GTX 1080 TI Gaming X)?Q: Can we expect to see displays using DisplayPort over USB-C for video input?
A: Yes. Displays will also take advantage of the USB Type-C connector to enable the use of the reversible connector as well as carry USB data and power over the same cable. This can allow the inclusion of a USB hub in the monitor, for example, and allow the monitor to provide power to the computer – thereby enabling a single cable for desktop use of a portable system. A standard, full-featured USB Type-C cable would be used in such configuration.
