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 4060 Ti 8GB FPS ÷ RTX 4060 Ti 16GB FPS) × 100
Example: (79.9 ÷ 81.8) × 100 = 98%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 4060 Ti 16GB FPS - RTX 4060 Ti 8GB FPS) ÷ RTX 4060 Ti 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((81.8 - 79.9) ÷ 79.9) × 100 = 2%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is only 98% as fast, then RTX 4060 Ti 16GB should be 2% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "2% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (98% of and 2% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
