Full HD — max settings
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: (93.6 ÷ 97.2) × 100 = 96%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((97.2 - 93.6) ÷ 93.6) × 100 = 4%
You naturally think: "If RX 6800 XT is only 96% as fast, then RTX 3090 should be 4% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "4% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (96% of and 4% 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: (64.8 ÷ 69.3) × 100 = 94%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((69.3 - 64.8) ÷ 64.8) × 100 = 7%
You naturally think: "If RX 6800 XT is only 94% as fast, then RTX 3090 should be 6% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "7% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (94% of and 7% 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: (39.3 ÷ 44.8) × 100 = 88%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((44.8 - 39.3) ÷ 39.3) × 100 = 14%
You naturally think: "If RX 6800 XT is only 88% as fast, then RTX 3090 should be 12% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "14% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (88% of and 14% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
