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 4070 Ti FPS ÷ RX 7900 XT FPS) × 100
Example: (155.1 ÷ 163.1) × 100 = 95%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 7900 XT FPS - RTX 4070 Ti FPS) ÷ RTX 4070 Ti FPS) × 100
Example: ((163.1 - 155.1) ÷ 155.1) × 100 = 5%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 4070 Ti is only 95% as fast, then RX 7900 XT should be 5% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "5% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (95% of and 5% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
