    framerates were MUCH smoother with memory at full speed, something you have to see to believe. a 100% increase in bandwidth gained 30% speed and much smoother fps. this should be interesting.
    You increased memory speed by 15% (1000 -> 1150) and frame rate only went up 3.4% (29 -> 30). That is not from the increased bandwidth, that is from the decrease in memory latency.
