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: (165 ÷ 174) × 100 = 95%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((174 - 165) ÷ 165) × 100 = 5%
You naturally think: "If Core i7-12700K is only 95% as fast, then Ryzen 9 7900 should be 5% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "5% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (95% of and 5% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
