Hello, I decided to examine the difference in performance when it comes to RAM in the Unigine Valley 2.0 benchmark test. I figured that it would be fun to share my results. I got an email about an awesome deal for EVGA SuperSC 16GB 2400MHz RAM for $99.99 at Micro Center. It turns out that the price was a typo and was suppose to have a $119.99 advertised price. The good news is that they honored the e-mail price for me, so that made me super happy to get 2400MHz RAM for $99.99!!! I have an i7-2600k, meaning I can only run 2133MHz. Anyway, here are my results.
 
RIG:
Thermaltake Core V71
ASRock z77 Extreme4
i7-2600k OC 4.6GHz
EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0
EVGA SuperSC 2133MHz RAM
Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W
 
OLD RAM:
1600 Corsair Vengeance Blue
 
 Part Number: CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
• Memory Size (Total): 8GB (2pcs)
• Memory Type: DDR3
• Clockspeed: 1600 MHz
• Timing: 9-9-9-24
• Pin Out: 240-pin
• Voltage: 1.5v
• Channels: Dual
• XMP Support: 1.2
 
 
NEW RAM:
2400 SuperSC DDR3 Series (16GB)
 
Part Number: 16G-D3-2400-MR
• Memory Type: DDR3
• Memory Size (Total): 16GB (2pcs)
• Clockspeed: 2400 MHz (Tested at 2133MHz)
• Timings: 11-13-13-31
• Voltage: 1.65V
• Channels: Dual
• XMP Support: 1.3
 
 
It looks like I got a 21% increase on Ultra 1080P 0XAA and 5% increase on Ultra 1080P 8XAA.

Could the difference in scores be due to you running different graphics drivers?  I see on your 1600MHz ram runs, you were using driver 347.88, but when you did the runs with 2133MHz ram, you used 350.12.

1600 MHz -v- 2133 MHz and 8GB -v- 16GB of Memory.
Different Graphics Drivers
Different Version of Unigine Valley?
 
But Glad to see users using the New EVGA Memory.
 
Put your old Memory back in and run SuperPI.exe and then your New EVGA Memory and run SuperPI.exe and report the scores.
Run SuperPi @ 32M
 
SuperPi 32M: 7m 16.756s Memory at 2400MHz
 
Same Memory One set Auto *Right one and one Set to XMP 1 @ 2133MHz
No other Changes in the Bios made.

One thing to consider is that the 1600 is running tighter timings than the faster memory.  My memory score stayed the same when I doubled up to 16gb, however it doesn't perform any faster because of the timings.  Too bad we can't get 2400 with cas8 timings and then we'd see a performance increase.
