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 9 5950X FPS ÷ Ryzen 5 7600 FPS) × 100
Example: (148 ÷ 159) × 100 = 93%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((Ryzen 5 7600 FPS - Ryzen 9 5950X FPS) ÷ Ryzen 9 5950X FPS) × 100
Example: ((159 - 148) ÷ 148) × 100 = 7%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Ryzen 9 5950X is only 93% as fast, then Ryzen 5 7600 should be 7% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "7% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (93% of and 7% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
