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 ÷ RX 7800 XT FPS) × 100
Example: (120.3 ÷ 133.2) × 100 = 90%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 7800 XT FPS - RTX 5060 Ti 16GB FPS) ÷ RTX 5060 Ti 16GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((133.2 - 120.3) ÷ 120.3) × 100 = 11%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is only 90% as fast, then RX 7800 XT should be 10% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "11% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (90% of and 11% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
