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: (29.6 ÷ 38.3) × 100 = 77%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((38.3 - 29.6) ÷ 29.6) × 100 = 29%
You naturally think: "If RX 5500 XT 4GB is only 77% as fast, then GTX 1660 Super should be 23% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "29% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (77% of and 29% 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: (17.7 ÷ 23.8) × 100 = 74%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((23.8 - 17.7) ÷ 17.7) × 100 = 34%
You naturally think: "If RX 5500 XT 4GB is only 74% as fast, then GTX 1660 Super should be 26% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "34% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (74% of and 34% 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: (9.8 ÷ 12.6) × 100 = 78%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((12.6 - 9.8) ÷ 9.8) × 100 = 29%
You naturally think: "If RX 5500 XT 4GB is only 78% as fast, then GTX 1660 Super should be 22% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "29% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (78% of and 29% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
