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: (157 ÷ 168) × 100 = 93%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((168 - 157) ÷ 157) × 100 = 7%
You naturally think: "If Core i5-12600K is only 93% as fast, then Ryzen 5 7600X 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.
