Corsair Vengeance Pro Review: 2x8 GB at DDR3-2400 10-12-12 1.65 V

For our single discrete GPU testing, rather than the 7970s which normally adorn my test beds (and were being used for other testing), I plumped for one of the HD 6950 cards I have. This ASUS DirectCU II card I purchased pre-flashed to 6970 specifications, giving a little more oomph. Typically discrete GPU options are not often cited as growth areas of memory testing, however we will let the results speak for themselves.
Dirt 3:
While the results for Dirt 3 show a dichotomy between the two kits, the overall difference in average FPS is minimal. In minimum FPS having more memory seemed to give a small benefit however.
Bioshock Infinite:
Bioshock Infinite on 1x GPU is unmoved by memory speed.
Tomb Raider:
Similarly, TR is agnostic too.

Interesting article....you mention "z-height"--what is that? Don't you mean Y-height? x=horizontal, y=vertical, z=depth...Simplex - Monday, December 16, 2013 - link
When will you test memory speed vs BF4 performance?celestialgrave - Monday, December 16, 2013 - link
So I would assume the benchmarks that show a clear hit going from 2x8gb to 4x8gb is more of an issue of the additional sticks vs the additional memory amount, so going from 2x8gb to 2x16gb wouldn't necessary see the same hit as the 4x8gb kit did?Popskalius - Sunday, February 23, 2014 - link
