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: (RTX 5050 FPS ÷ B580 FPS) × 100
Example: (79.6 ÷ 80) × 100 = 99%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((B580 FPS - RTX 5050 FPS) ÷ RTX 5050 FPS) × 100
Example: ((80 - 79.6) ÷ 79.6) × 100 = 1%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5050 is only 99% as fast, then B580 should be 1% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "1% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (99% of and 1% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5050 is only 95% as fast, then B580 should be 5% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "6% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (95% of and 6% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

The "21% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (83% of and 21% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
