Is it possible to connect an NVMe that is listed as PCIe 3.0 x4 (such as 970 EVO) on a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot?

Do I need an adapter?
 
You want to connect it to M.2 or PCIE slot?
For PCIE slot you' ll need PCIE to M.2 adapter.

Sorry I know little about these things

I believe the 970 EVO is an NVMe (M.2), which is connected in the M.2 slot.

It's listed as PCIe 3.0 (interface, I believe) on Newegg, but I want to connect it to a M.2 slot which only support PCIe 2.0, would it work? (I know it will gut the speed)
