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 16GB FPS ÷ RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: (103.5 ÷ 117.7) × 100 = 88%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS - RTX 4060 Ti 16GB FPS) ÷ RTX 4060 Ti 16GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((117.7 - 103.5) ÷ 103.5) × 100 = 14%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is only 88% as fast, then RTX 5060 Ti 8GB should be 12% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "14% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (88% of and 14% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
