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: (174.1 ÷ 175) × 100 = 99%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((175 - 174.1) ÷ 174.1) × 100 = 1%
You naturally think: "If RX 7900 XTX is only 99% as fast, then RTX 4080 should be 1% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "1% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (99% of and 1% 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: (140.7 ÷ 145.4) × 100 = 97%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((145.4 - 140.7) ÷ 140.7) × 100 = 3%
You naturally think: "If RX 7900 XTX is only 97% as fast, then RTX 4080 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.

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: (101.9 ÷ 103) × 100 = 99%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((103 - 101.9) ÷ 101.9) × 100 = 1%
You naturally think: "If RX 7900 XTX is only 99% as fast, then RTX 4080 should be 1% faster" — but that's incorrect.

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: (63 ÷ 64.5) × 100 = 98%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((64.5 - 63) ÷ 63) × 100 = 2%
You naturally think: "If RTX 4080 is only 98% as fast, then RX 7900 XTX should be 2% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "2% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (98% of and 2% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
