Looking at synthetic benchmark numbers for system and CPU performance, you can see that the Viper Fin memory is a little faster in both AquaMark3 and 3DMark06. More importantly, with the XMP setting, the Viper Fin was able to run at a faster FSB (albeit slightly), which does affect graphics performance as well.

In real world games, you can expect more or less the same performance. Since the tiny amount of gains from a 30MHz faster memory won't equate to much, as you can see from our Quake 4 scores. We continue using Unreal Tournament 2004 in this review because its frame rates seem to scale well with hardware configuration changes. Other than SYSmark 2007 Preview, UT 2004 was another benchmark that showed higher than expected results between the two Patriot DDR3-1866 memory SKUs.
