Will a PCIe 2.0 capable mobo have a significant boost in performance of a 8800 GT seen that GTs are PCIe 2.0 cards?

"PCI-SIG outlines the new features as:
* Enhanced Completion Timeout Control, which includes required and optional aspects, reduces false timeouts and increases the ability to ‘tune’ the timeouts.
* Function Level Reset and Access Control Services, giving enhanced robustness and support of certain IOV features -- though this feature is labeled as optional/
* Slot Power Limit Changes to allow for higher powered slots, which support the newer, high-performance graphics cards. This new feature works in tandem with the 300W Card Electro-mechanical specification.
* Speed Signaling Controls to enable software to determine whether a device can operate at a specific signaling rate, which can be used to reduce power consumption, as well as provide gross level I/O to memory.
The new interface will prove to be particularly useful for video cards whose performance is limited as a result of lower I/O throughput. Manufacturers will be able to use the faster channels for shared memory graphics which uses system memory to boost performance."
