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: (RTX 3070 FPS ÷ RTX 4060 Ti 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: (74.5 ÷ 79.9) × 100 = 93%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 4060 Ti 8GB FPS - RTX 3070 FPS) ÷ RTX 3070 FPS) × 100
Example: ((79.9 - 74.5) ÷ 74.5) × 100 = 7%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 3070 is only 93% as fast, then RTX 4060 Ti 8GB 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.
