will a pci e 2.0 graphic card work on a pci 2 *16 slot I read that it will but it will be bottlenecked does that mean it's performance will decrease

Nope. No performance decrease. You can even find articles that try to do that too.

The performance difference is measureable, but not meaningful. About 1-2%.
AND, that only happens with the most powerful of cpu's combined with the fastest vga cards.
