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 5800X3D FPS ÷ Core i7-13700K FPS) × 100
Example: (194 ÷ 197) × 100 = 98%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((Core i7-13700K FPS - Ryzen 7 5800X3D FPS) ÷ Ryzen 7 5800X3D FPS) × 100
Example: ((197 - 194) ÷ 194) × 100 = 2%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Ryzen 7 5800X3D is only 98% as fast, then Core i7-13700K should be 2% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "2% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (98% of and 2% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
