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: (A770 16GB FPS ÷ RTX 3060 12GB FPS) × 100
Example: (63.4 ÷ 70.1) × 100 = 90%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 3060 12GB FPS - A770 16GB FPS) ÷ A770 16GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((70.1 - 63.4) ÷ 63.4) × 100 = 11%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If A770 16GB is only 90% as fast, then RTX 3060 12GB should be 10% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "11% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (90% of and 11% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
