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: (RTX 2080 FPS ÷ RTX 2080 Ti FPS) × 100
Example: (64.9 ÷ 76.8) × 100 = 85%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 2080 Ti FPS - RTX 2080 FPS) ÷ RTX 2080 FPS) × 100
Example: ((76.8 - 64.9) ÷ 64.9) × 100 = 18%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 2080 is only 85% as fast, then RTX 2080 Ti should be 15% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "18% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (85% of and 18% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 2080 is only 81% as fast, then RTX 2080 Ti should be 19% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "23% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (81% of and 23% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
