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 6800 FPS ÷ RTX 3080 FPS) × 100
Example: (84.1 ÷ 90.2) × 100 = 93%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 3080 FPS - RX 6800 FPS) ÷ RX 6800 FPS) × 100
Example: ((90.2 - 84.1) ÷ 84.1) × 100 = 7%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 6800 is only 93% as fast, then RTX 3080 should be 7% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "7% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (93% of and 7% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 6800 is only 92% as fast, then RTX 3080 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.
