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: (118 ÷ 142) × 100 = 83%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((142 - 118) ÷ 118) × 100 = 20%
You naturally think: "If Ryzen 5 5600G is only 83% as fast, then Core i5-12400 should be 17% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "20% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (83% of and 20% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
