In general, no. Mining on the vast majority of algorithms does not require much PCIe bandwidth. Mining with your card in a x16 v1.0 slot will be fine. Most people with multi-GPU rigs use risers that connect their cards to x1 slots and don't notice a difference between having it directly into an x16 v3.0 slot.

Thank you so much!

Great to know that! I'm going to pick up my old computer with a mother board that has x1 v1.0 pci-e and try if it can be used for mining.
