Benchmark - AIDA, HEXUS.PiFast, and 3DMark Vantage
Examining the modules' bandwidth performance by using the latest version of AIDA also shows little variation when running different-latency memory. That darn Ivy Bridge memory controller is pretty good at papering over the memory cracks.
Guess what, an Intel Core i7-3770K's excellent on-chip cache performance negates the usual boost provided by faster memory. There's literally no difference between the four results.
Fire up 3DMark Vantage, which is usually partial to boosts in sub-system performance, especially when run on an IGP, shows a <1 per cent difference between the two Patriot sets.
