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: (204.8 ÷ 222) × 100 = 92%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((222 - 204.8) ÷ 204.8) × 100 = 8%
You naturally think: "If Core i7-14700K is only 92% as fast, then Ryzen 9 7950X3D 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.
