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: (RX 6700 XT FPS ÷ RTX 2080 FPS) × 100
Example: (64.3 ÷ 64.9) × 100 = 99%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 2080 FPS - RX 6700 XT FPS) ÷ RX 6700 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((64.9 - 64.3) ÷ 64.3) × 100 = 1%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 6700 XT is only 99% as fast, then RTX 2080 should be 1% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "1% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (99% of and 1% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 2080 is only 87% as fast, then RX 6700 XT should be 13% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "15% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (87% of and 15% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
