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: (90.2 ÷ 93.6) × 100 = 96%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((93.6 - 90.2) ÷ 90.2) × 100 = 4%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3080 is only 96% as fast, then RX 6800 XT 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: (62.7 ÷ 64.8) × 100 = 97%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((64.8 - 62.7) ÷ 62.7) × 100 = 3%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3080 is only 97% as fast, then RX 6800 XT 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.
