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 3090 Ti FPS ÷ RX 9070 FPS) × 100
Example: (100.7 ÷ 124.1) × 100 = 81%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 9070 FPS - RTX 3090 Ti FPS) ÷ RTX 3090 Ti FPS) × 100
Example: ((124.1 - 100.7) ÷ 100.7) × 100 = 23%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 3090 Ti is only 81% as fast, then RX 9070 should be 19% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "23% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (81% of and 23% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
