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: (67.1 ÷ 74.9) × 100 = 90%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((74.9 - 67.1) ÷ 67.1) × 100 = 12%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3060 Ti is only 90% as fast, then RTX 5060 should be 10% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "12% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (90% of and 12% 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: (19.9 ÷ 26.7) × 100 = 75%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((26.7 - 19.9) ÷ 19.9) × 100 = 34%
You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 is only 75% as fast, then RTX 3060 Ti should be 25% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "34% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (75% of and 34% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
