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: (RX 5500 XT 4GB FPS ÷ A580 FPS) × 100
Example: (29.6 ÷ 43) × 100 = 69%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((A580 FPS - RX 5500 XT 4GB FPS) ÷ RX 5500 XT 4GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((43 - 29.6) ÷ 29.6) × 100 = 45%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 5500 XT 4GB is only 69% as fast, then A580 should be 31% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "45% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (69% of and 45% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
