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: (RX 9060 XT 8GB FPS ÷ RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: (106.8 ÷ 117.7) × 100 = 91%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS - RX 9060 XT 8GB FPS) ÷ RX 9060 XT 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((117.7 - 106.8) ÷ 106.8) × 100 = 10%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 9060 XT 8GB is only 91% as fast, then RTX 5060 Ti 8GB should be 9% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "10% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (91% of and 10% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
