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: (GTX 1660 Super FPS ÷ RTX 2060 FPS) × 100
Example: (38.3 ÷ 46) × 100 = 83%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 2060 FPS - GTX 1660 Super FPS) ÷ GTX 1660 Super FPS) × 100
Example: ((46 - 38.3) ÷ 38.3) × 100 = 20%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If GTX 1660 Super is only 83% as fast, then RTX 2060 should be 17% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "20% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (83% of and 20% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
