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: (Ryzen 5 5600 FPS ÷ Ryzen 7 5700X FPS) × 100
Example: (137 ÷ 142) × 100 = 96%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((Ryzen 7 5700X FPS - Ryzen 5 5600 FPS) ÷ Ryzen 5 5600 FPS) × 100
Example: ((142 - 137) ÷ 137) × 100 = 4%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Ryzen 5 5600 is only 96% as fast, then Ryzen 7 5700X should be 4% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "4% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (96% of and 4% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
