Taking a look at how increasing system memory frequency effects gaming performance with a descrete GPU (in this case, a ASUS AMD Radeon R7 360)

DDR RAM is short for "Double Data Rate Random Access Memory". Virtually all computers use system ram but graphics cards typically have their own DDR ram built into the card. So why would overclocking the system RAM have any effect on game FPS?

Graphics cards 5+ years ago often times didn't have more than 1GB of ram, if that. Game engines were written to use system memory over GPU memory and didn't often take advantage of the memory built into the graphics card so system RAM would end up being the bottleneck.
