So, it's me again.
(Recap:I have an Intel P5Q Motherboard (I know it's old) , which has a pci express x16 2.0 slot, i was planning on buying an MSI GTX1050 2GB OC, which has a pci express x16 3.0 slot.
Now that's my problem, will the card support the motherboard, is it backwards compatible, and if yes, what's the loss of performance?

Thank you.)

And this time I wanted to ask I there will be a bottleneck with the match of the graphics card and the motherboard which are mentioned above...
I have done a bit of reasearch, and after seing the problems, that bottle neck causes I was a little bit worried, so that's my question, have a nice day. :??:

PS: The motherboard I'm using is an Intel 2.5GHz Quad Core, the RAM is 4GBs, and the feed is at about 600 Watt or so.
 
Solution
You can buy it if you want. Will give you enough performance. Also you can take it to your next rig. But in case that is not your intention, then something like a 750ti will be more suitable.
The card will support as it is reverse compatible but you have estimated the bottlenecking correctly. There will be slight bottleneck. This chart has bottlenecking stats for 1050ti upto intel 3rd gen... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OCSzTslVki32BDSlEneeH3zJrTgD5iHe6IsWgbceHcQ/edit#gid=0
Check how the i3(3rd gen) is getting slightly bottlenecked by the 1050ti. Adjust the estimation accordingly. There are no hard figures to calculate as there is no such mechanism, but you can expect your card to wok roughly at 60% to 80% capacity.

Thanks for your reply, but is it worth buying it? I wanted to buy it , because i have a really bad graphics card at the moment, and i want to upgrade for gaming...

PS: The motherboard isn't mentioned in the list, it's one generation before i3... :/

Ok thank you very much, i'll buy it, have a nice day!
Oh, also, the loss of performance will be slightly noticable then?
