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 9 7900 FPS ÷ Ryzen 9 7900X FPS) × 100
Example: (174 ÷ 177) × 100 = 98%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((Ryzen 9 7900X FPS - Ryzen 9 7900 FPS) ÷ Ryzen 9 7900 FPS) × 100
Example: ((177 - 174) ÷ 174) × 100 = 2%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Ryzen 9 7900 is only 98% as fast, then Ryzen 9 7900X should be 2% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "2% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (98% of and 2% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
