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: (64.1 ÷ 70.1) × 100 = 91%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((70.1 - 64.1) ÷ 64.1) × 100 = 9%
You naturally think: "If RX 6600 is only 91% as fast, then RTX 3060 12GB should be 9% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "9% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (91% of and 9% 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: (43.7 ÷ 51.6) × 100 = 85%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((51.6 - 43.7) ÷ 43.7) × 100 = 18%
You naturally think: "If RX 6600 is only 85% as fast, then RTX 3060 12GB should be 15% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "18% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (85% of and 18% 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: (27.9 ÷ 34.7) × 100 = 80%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((34.7 - 27.9) ÷ 27.9) × 100 = 24%
You naturally think: "If RX 6600 is only 80% as fast, then RTX 3060 12GB should be 20% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "24% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (80% of and 24% 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: (14.4 ÷ 20.1) × 100 = 72%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((20.1 - 14.4) ÷ 14.4) × 100 = 40%
You naturally think: "If RX 6600 is only 72% as fast, then RTX 3060 12GB should be 28% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "40% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (72% of and 40% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
