I never said that you could derive speed from the amount of memory placed on higher end cards. However, both memory speeds and the amount of memory associated with each controller has an effect on stress levels.

If the card uses lower-end GDDR5, it is likely due to TDP and price issues rather than a design flaw IMO. Especially considering the GT 240 already uses higher binned modules in some cases.
