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 5700 XT FPS ÷ B580 FPS) × 100
Example: (58.2 ÷ 59) × 100 = 99%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((B580 FPS - RX 5700 XT FPS) ÷ RX 5700 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((59 - 58.2) ÷ 58.2) × 100 = 1%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 5700 XT 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.

"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((B580 FPS - RX 5700 XT FPS) ÷ RX 5700 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((42.3 - 36.7) ÷ 36.7) × 100 = 15%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 5700 XT is only 87% as fast, then B580 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.
