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: (55.6 ÷ 62.7) × 100 = 89%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((62.7 - 55.6) ÷ 55.6) × 100 = 13%
You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is only 89% as fast, then RTX 3080 should be 11% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "13% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (89% of and 13% 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: (22.3 ÷ 39.4) × 100 = 57%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((39.4 - 22.3) ÷ 22.3) × 100 = 77%
You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is only 57% as fast, then RTX 3080 should be 43% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "77% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (57% of and 77% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
