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 5600 XT FPS ÷ RTX 2060 FPS) × 100
Example: (28.6 ÷ 28.8) × 100 = 99%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 2060 FPS - RX 5600 XT FPS) ÷ RX 5600 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((28.8 - 28.6) ÷ 28.6) × 100 = 1%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 5600 XT is only 99% as fast, then RTX 2060 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.
