I like your
test approach, of varying only one thing at once.
A 80% BW improvement from 1333 to 2400 modules translates to
17.6% more FPS, while a 300 MHz clock bump only yields
6.1%, roughly a third.
So it just might be that 1 GHz OC is about equal to a doubling of bandwidth (from quad channel, or going to fast DDR4), in bottleneck scenarios.
This rule of thumb almost applies to some comparisons out there between Haswell-E and Skylake. But games are all over the place, this rule needs refining. Maybe a doubling of BW is statistically equal to say a 600 MHz OC.
One also could test this by clocking down the CPU until you achieve performance parity.
1. measure FPS with old RAM
2. Install expansive ram (or OC it) ---> new FPS highs
3. Under-clock CPU (with OC'ed RAM) until you reach old RAM FPS levels
4. Compare the differences between clock and bandwidth
