Dude, that thing was "oldish" 5 years ago.
I doubt your PCIE is throttling you. With that hardware you play on low enough settings that it shouldn't be an issue at all.
You should check while playing what the bottleneck is. Open the task manager and something like MSI afterburner. Whatever reaches 100% is your culprit. My guess is the GPU.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
