Bottlenecks doing what? If gaming then there is nothing majorly significant between PCIE 3.0 and 4.0 GPUs but will depend on what CPU/GPU/Monitor resolution/frame rate you are using. Higher resolutions have less issues with CPU/GPU bottlenecks but that would apply to any setup.

Biggest noticable difference IMO will be the M.2 SSD speeds between PCIE 3.0 and 4.0 but again it will depend on what you are actually doing.

Usually the max loss is a few %, see here for a 4090, but the card having the full 16 lanes available (a lot are cut down to 8 or even 4 nowadays :o ) will be helpful in minimising that loss. I wouldn't worry about it.
