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 XT FPS ÷ RTX 3080 Ti FPS) × 100
Example: (93.6 ÷ 96.4) × 100 = 97%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 3080 Ti FPS - RX 6800 XT FPS) ÷ RX 6800 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((96.4 - 93.6) ÷ 93.6) × 100 = 3%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 6800 XT is only 97% as fast, then RTX 3080 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.
