Why does ram speed and having dual channel ram sticks effect minimum fps in Battlefield 1 so much?

I am curious.

I noticed running in dual channel with only 2 sticks of ram it is faster in Battlefield 1 with minimum fps. At least 10 to 15 fps more. Sometimes maybe 20 fps. To me that is a lot.

Also faster ram speed seems to make a difference too a little. Not as much as dual channel though.


Has this been the case with any other game?


BTW this test is with DDR3. I know DDR4 would help even more but that would require a whole new motherboard and I don't want to upgrade my whole system right now.
 
its the case in most cpu limited games
if the game is cpu bottlnecked it also affects the average fps significantly

unfortunately average fps in these fallout 4 tests are not all that accurate so focus on its minimum fps which are spot on

if the game is gpu limited you see next to no change from higher cpu speed and faster ram only improves cpu efficiency
