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: (179 ÷ 194) × 100 = 92%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((194 - 179) ÷ 179) × 100 = 8%
You naturally think: "If Ryzen 9 7950X is only 92% as fast, then Ryzen 7 5800X3D should be 8% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "8% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (92% of and 8% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
