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: (200 ÷ 204.8) × 100 = 98%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((204.8 - 200) ÷ 200) × 100 = 2%
You naturally think: "If Core i9-13900K is only 98% as fast, then Ryzen 9 9950X 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.
