    That could be one reason but it isn't logical.

    It is a perfectly logical explanation -- your entire premise is flawed.
    One hundred years from now It won't matter

    How much money I had in the bank Nor what my cloths looked like.... But The world may be a little better Because, I was important In the life of a child.

    Explain ... sure.

    You see within a few FPS two CPUs performing perfectly the same, you drive straight to the bandwidth and nothing in the data suggests that.... what it suggests is that the GPU is the limiter and within the noise of the measurement running high res max AA and AAFS the GPU will yield X FPS... that is all it says.

    So, let's think about it for a second ... how would you prove it is actually a BW problem? Experimentally.
