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 5 7600X FPS ÷ Ryzen 7 7700X FPS) × 100
Example: (168 ÷ 173) × 100 = 97%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((Ryzen 7 7700X FPS - Ryzen 5 7600X FPS) ÷ Ryzen 5 7600X FPS) × 100
Example: ((173 - 168) ÷ 168) × 100 = 3%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Ryzen 5 7600X is only 97% as fast, then Ryzen 7 7700X should be 3% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "3% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (97% of and 3% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
