Only TF2, which is more CPU and memory limited rather than graphics limited, seems to benefit from the extra bandwidth. Even then it's only an improvement by, at most, 8FPS. Here, the Corsair fractionally out-performs the Super Talent at 1,866Mhz - but doesn't at 1,333MHz ultra low latency. The FPS difference is negligible across the board.
