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 ÷ RX 7700 XT FPS) × 100
Example: (74.5 ÷ 80.6) × 100 = 92%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 7700 XT FPS - RTX 3070 FPS) ÷ RTX 3070 FPS) × 100
Example: ((80.6 - 74.5) ÷ 74.5) × 100 = 8%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 3070 is only 92% as fast, then RX 7700 XT should be 8% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "8% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (92% of and 8% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 3070 is only 86% as fast, then RX 7700 XT should be 14% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "17% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (86% of and 17% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
