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 5700 XT FPS ÷ RTX 4060 FPS) × 100
Example: (58.2 ÷ 60.4) × 100 = 96%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 4060 FPS - RX 5700 XT FPS) ÷ RX 5700 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((60.4 - 58.2) ÷ 58.2) × 100 = 4%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 5700 XT is only 96% as fast, then RTX 4060 should be 4% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "4% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (96% of and 4% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
