When you see two FPS numbers, there are two common but different ways to show the difference:
This compares the slower card to the faster card.
Example: (177 ÷ 187) × 100 = 95%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((187 - 177) ÷ 177) × 100 = 6%
You naturally think: "If Ryzen 9 7900X is only 95% as fast, then Core i5-13600K should be 5% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "6% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (95% of and 6% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
