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: (64.9 ÷ 67.1) × 100 = 97%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((67.1 - 64.9) ÷ 64.9) × 100 = 3%
You naturally think: "If RTX 2080 is only 97% as fast, then RTX 3060 Ti should be 3% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "3% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (97% of and 3% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

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: (41.8 ÷ 45.5) × 100 = 92%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((45.5 - 41.8) ÷ 41.8) × 100 = 9%
You naturally think: "If RTX 2080 is only 92% as fast, then RTX 3060 Ti should be 8% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "9% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (92% of and 9% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

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: (24.4 ÷ 26.7) × 100 = 91%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((26.7 - 24.4) ÷ 24.4) × 100 = 9%
You naturally think: "If RTX 2080 is only 91% as fast, then RTX 3060 Ti should be 9% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "9% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (91% of and 9% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
