According to this - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a10-6700-a10-6800k-richland-review,3528-5.html
I should be seeing 40~fps in F1 2012, in the demo version I'm seeing 20fps matching their settings using fraps to show fps. I can only get 35 fps in 1280x720. Surely something's wrong.
I have 16gb of RAM @ 1333mhz (I know it's not ideal), the benchmark test used 1866mhz RAM but surely upgrading to that won't give me 20 more fps? Anyone have any ideas on why I can't get close to those numbers, or will the RAM upgrade really see that much of an improvement?

You may not see a 50% improvement in frames with faster RAMs, but 30%+ is not out of the question -- this is the Trinity APU Radeon HD 7660D.

You may also gain by upping your video memory from 768MB. I believe the max is 2GB (not sure you would need quite that much :) )

MSI is notoriously finicky with RAMs -- it is advisable to only use RAMs from their QVL list. It's not a 100% necessity but ... it gives you the right to complain about **stuff** and get tech support working on your issues -- it's their recommended hardware.

Also -- be sure you are running the most current BIOS available to you...

Well apu's LOVE faster ram and 1333 mhz is slow so actually your ram is the problem. If you buy an apu you need some faster ram

And in that article, it said while FRAP FPS improved, the microstuttering issues are still quite present.

don't forget that 13.12 beta is already here and that the microstuttering has gone down even more with it and if you have the option then why not try it and if he doesn't like it he can just turn it off?

My motherboard is an MSI FM2-A55M-E33, I have 2 sticks of 8gb GDDR3 RAM @ 1333mhz, my APUs video clock according to Speccy is running @ 950 mhz. Total available graphics memory is 8320MB, dedicated video memory is 768MB, system video memory is 0 MB and shared system memory is 7552MB.

The only other thing of note of which I can think --- at your resolution (1280x720) and RAMs speed, you are not actually pushing the APU graphics engine, and in reality are putting the 'Onus' on the CPU cores. This in conjunction with your low video memory (assuming F1 2012 can likely use 1GB+ of video memory) and RAMs speed may be a major contributing factor to your current FPS.
