General Explanation of Benchmark Percentages

When you see two FPS numbers, there are two common but different ways to show the difference:

"X% of the performance"

This compares the slower card to the faster card.

Formula: (Ryzen 7 7700X FPS ÷ Core 5 245K FPS) × 100
Example: (173 ÷ 180.2) × 100 = 96%
"X% faster"

This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.

Formula: ((Core 5 245K FPS - Ryzen 7 7700X FPS) ÷ Ryzen 7 7700X FPS) × 100
Example: ((180.2 - 173) ÷ 173) × 100 = 4%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Ryzen 7 7700X is only 96% as fast, then Core 5 245K should be 4% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "4% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (96% of and 4% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
