If so, that's not a good precedent for future cards, which will be using even more active power management than Maxwell 2 and Fiji.It does make sense that laptop PSUs may not handle wildly varying power draw. In almost all cases, they're going to be merely charging a battery, from which the laptop will be drawing a varying load. Maybe adding a transient decoupling capacitor to the final output stage (or beefing up the existing one, or adding one after the output on that lovely adapter board) will keep the load stable enough for laptop PSUs to cope with.
