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: (37.7 ÷ 43) × 100 = 88%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((43 - 37.7) ÷ 37.7) × 100 = 14%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 88% as fast, then A580 should be 12% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "14% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (88% of and 14% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

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: (25.1 ÷ 27.6) × 100 = 91%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((27.6 - 25.1) ÷ 25.1) × 100 = 10%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 91% as fast, then A580 should be 9% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "10% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (91% of and 10% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

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: (14.2 ÷ 16.4) × 100 = 87%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((16.4 - 14.2) ÷ 14.2) × 100 = 15%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 87% as fast, then A580 should be 13% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "15% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (87% of and 15% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
