I also have the same question about the BUS port on my mortherbord which is PCI express 2.0
but newer graphics cards have PCI express 3.0 .

1. Unless you plan on running both display adapters at the same time you're fine. Even if you do run both the least common denominator will prevail (OpenGL 4.2).

2. PCI Express 3.0 cards are backward compatible with 2.0 and will work just fine, albeit at the lower 2.0 bandwidth.
