In short, it's the same as on PCI-E 3.0:
Even if you plug it into 2.0 x8 instead of 2.0 x16, you won't notice the difference.

You most likely won't notice much of a difference.
there could be a joke about "power" - P=U*I
But okay - no, full "power" will not be able to, because it will run into the limitation of the PCI-e bus. But among the 10xx cards there are also "slow" ones that won't resist. Well, and other things that you need to look at in the test results.
