It's not really the frame rate that is affected. Rather, it is loading times, and the reduction in stutter when
games load more data - helps a lot in large open world games where data keeps being loaded as one
roams around. What this can do as a result is increase minimum frame rates in some cases, so the perceived
average in a benchmark might be higher due to the math (though the real average in a game should be the
same), but it won't increase the max framerate.
My brother's PC had a typical 1TB SATA, with which the game he most likes to play would take about 2.5
minutes to load. I replaced it with a Samsung 840 250GB SSD and now the game loads in less than 20
seconds, so he's very happy, and this was only on a system with SATA2.
So, if you're playing a game which loads *everything* it needs at the very start, then an SSD probably
won't make anything faster except the initial loading time. But for most games, it definitely helps
reduce stutter (in my case, playing Stalker, Oblivion, etc.) Just remember to choose a model with a good
IOPS rating, no point skimping on an entry level model like an MX100. I'd recommend the 840 EVO 250GB.
