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 3070 FPS) × 100
Example: (64.3 ÷ 74.5) × 100 = 86%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 3070 FPS - RX 6700 XT FPS) ÷ RX 6700 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((74.5 - 64.3) ÷ 64.3) × 100 = 16%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 6700 XT is only 86% as fast, then RTX 3070 should be 14% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "16% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (86% of and 16% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 6700 XT is only 93% as fast, then RTX 3070 should be 7% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "8% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (93% of and 8% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
