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: (Core i9-13900KS FPS ÷ Ryzen 7 7800X3D FPS) × 100
Example: (202 ÷ 220) × 100 = 92%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((Ryzen 7 7800X3D FPS - Core i9-13900KS FPS) ÷ Core i9-13900KS FPS) × 100
Example: ((220 - 202) ÷ 202) × 100 = 9%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Core i9-13900KS is only 92% as fast, then Ryzen 7 7800X3D should be 8% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "9% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (92% of and 9% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
