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 6600 XT FPS ÷ RTX 2080 FPS) × 100
Example: (60.8 ÷ 64.9) × 100 = 94%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 2080 FPS - RX 6600 XT FPS) ÷ RX 6600 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((64.9 - 60.8) ÷ 60.8) × 100 = 7%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 6600 XT is only 94% as fast, then RTX 2080 should be 6% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "7% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (94% of and 7% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
