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: (RTX 5060 FPS ÷ RTX 2080 Ti FPS) × 100
Example: (74.9 ÷ 76.8) × 100 = 98%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 2080 Ti FPS - RTX 5060 FPS) ÷ RTX 5060 FPS) × 100
Example: ((76.8 - 74.9) ÷ 74.9) × 100 = 3%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 is only 98% as fast, then RTX 2080 Ti should be 2% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "3% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (98% of and 3% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 is only 88% as fast, then RTX 2080 Ti should be 12% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "14% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (88% of and 14% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
