Two pairs of graphs, showing performance at 1,024x768 and 1,680x1,050 4xAA/8xAF.
Increasing memory frequency but keeping the CPU in check indicates a reasonable rise in performance, and the 2GHz kit, especially at 1T, naturally beats them all.
But raise resolution to 1,680x1,050 and the test becomes pretty much card-limited.

Clock speed and memory frequency barely make a dent in Far Cry 2 benchmark performance, though.
