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 5060 Ti 16GB FPS ÷ RTX 4070 FPS) × 100
Example: (120.3 ÷ 130.7) × 100 = 92%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 4070 FPS - RTX 5060 Ti 16GB FPS) ÷ RTX 5060 Ti 16GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((130.7 - 120.3) ÷ 120.3) × 100 = 9%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is only 92% as fast, then RTX 4070 should be 8% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "9% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (92% of and 9% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
