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: (106.8 ÷ 117.7) × 100 = 91%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((117.7 - 106.8) ÷ 106.8) × 100 = 10%
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.

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: (84 ÷ 90.1) × 100 = 93%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((90.1 - 84) ÷ 84) × 100 = 7%
You naturally think: "If RX 9060 XT 8GB is only 93% as fast, then RTX 5060 Ti 8GB should be 7% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "7% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (93% of and 7% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

This compares the slower card to the faster card.
Example: (48.2 ÷ 55.6) × 100 = 87%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((55.6 - 48.2) ÷ 48.2) × 100 = 15%
You naturally think: "If RX 9060 XT 8GB is only 87% as fast, then RTX 5060 Ti 8GB should be 13% faster" — but that's incorrect.
