    16gb ddr 4 2400mhz vs 16gb ddr4 3000mhz?

    Assuming the rest of the system are high end. How well would a 3000mhz ddr ram do against a 2400mhz ddr 4 in gaming? Say if i get 50fps on a game with the 2400mhz. Would the same amount of ram but with 3000mhz instead give like 5 extra fps or just 1 extra fps? Thanks.
