Just draw it out, you will see that a constant increase by % is not linear.

Compounding percentages are based on exponential relations, not linear relations.
Exactly... it's lost in translation.
Lucidlogix claims near perfect linear scaling. That means as you add cards, they are near 100% of their potential. Thus adding one to your system increasing it's performance by 2. Or, a 100% gain over a single card. Don't confuse that with.. both cards are now only doing 50% of the workload. The performance gets calculated by 1 magnitude greater, for each additional card. 2x~4x.
It is the same for every additional card you add. Though each just adds to the collective performance. But can be translated as % or fraction of additional value (First order 1/2, second order 1/3, third order 1/4 total gain).
You do start @ 100%, not zero. 100% is the base and you chart off that!
