memory gaming speed

this article is interesting, as in the noticeable increase in fps with faster memory with ivy. This is for discrete and IGP
I was always informed by some people on these forums that there is very little difference between say 1600 and 2400, benching maybe but it appears in gaming you can see a 5-10% increase in FPS :cool:

Which 1866 mem do you have. I am just testing some Corsair Plats here which look fab and do 2400 easy at 1.65 everyday volts. Cas 10 1T timings they will bench cas 9 at this speed too.

2 games at a single setting.... Need more tests before making any form of conclusion especially considering the frame rates achieved were beyond what a 120Hz monitor can differentiate.
