Will PCIE X16 1.0 bottleneck Geforce GT 610?

Yes, the generation 1 PCIe slot runs at 250 MB/s and a transfer rate of 2.5 gigatransfers per second (GT/s)..

Generation 2 -which the GT 610 supports is double the speed at 5 gigatransfers (GT/s) and the per-lane throughput @ 500 MB/s. This is a substantial difference and technically a bottleneck -you would be holding back the full power of the card.! Newer games can/will saturate a PCIe v1 bus.
