Is it worth me upgrading my 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 memory to 16GB

Is it worth me upgrading my 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 memory to 16GB 2400Mhz? I always thought it did not affect fps in games but from Googling around it seems that is not actually the case and can have quite an impact. More than just the 1-3 fps I used to see stated.

Not really no. Also can your mobo support it?

Yes it can go as high as 3000Mhz*OC but but I can't find anything in that range. At least not cheap.

>>56175857
does your cpu support it?

Some games seem to benefit more than others.

>>56175862
Not sure. Haswell 4770K.

Actually it can through overclocking.

'The Hail Mary in the group is StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Testing was done at 1080p with all of the settings maxed out, so it at least looks the same way it might on your home system. This is also one of the few games that could theoretically benefit from a framerate higher than 60fps, and any kind of demonstrable performance benefit on the CPU/memory side is valuable.

If you run the i7 at stock with DDR3-2400, it’s basically as fast as a 4.5GHz i7 with DDR3-1600. Bump the 4.5GHz chip’s memory to DDR3-1866 and it starts to soar. Getting roughly 10fps out of something as simple as faster memory is staggering.'

So basically it's bullshit that the 4770K does not support memory speeds about 1600Mhz?
