Benchmark Results: In Metro: Last Light with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti discrete desktop graphics card installed in the system we saw a jump in performance between DDR4-2133 and DDR4-2400 and again between DDR4-2666 and DDR4-2800. The performance between DDR4-2800 and DDR4-3466 was flat and then we saw 0.5 FPS increased with the move to DDR4-3600 and DDR4-3733 clock speeds. We were shocked to see performance gains at the end after no gains for several clock speeds, but we’ll take it and it was repeatable.
Note: according to graph provided, the "jumps" are like 118 to 120 and 120 to 121 FPS)
Benchmark Results: In GTA V we found hardly any difference between running DDR4-2133 and DDR4-3733 as there was less than a single frame per second difference found after running the games built-in benchmark three times and averaging the numbers. The DDR4-3000 result of 106.0 FPS on average was about as good as you’ll get as we only got 0.1 FPS higher by going up another 733MHz.
And the conclusion:
After spending dozens of hours benchmarking ten different memory speeds on the Intel Z170 + Skylake platform we must admit that we are too shocked by the findings. Our benchmarks show that the memory bandwidth increased, but there wasn’t a tangible improvement in system performance with real applications. We ran other applications and game titles when we tested this memory kit and you mostly ended up with flat performance charts like you saw in Handbrake or any of the game titles that we tested today.
We saw some nice performance gains from
DDR4-2133 to DDR4-2666, but strangely the pricing for the G.Skill
Ripjaws V 8GB 2133 and 2666 dual channel kits are identical. That is
where you’ll see the biggest performance gain in the real world
benchmarks and you can get that benefit for free right now.
Still waiting to those links where they didnt gain anything....

Well, you did the job already and provided links with your own rebuttal(again)... Thanks, I guess?
I guess by now people got the picture of how bad you are at trolling. Sad thing is OP fell for your trolling unfortunately.
Here, ill quote you:
"Welcomed. Memory speed makes no difference, no worries. "
