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: (A580 FPS ÷ RX 5600 XT FPS) × 100
Example: (43 ÷ 45.8) × 100 = 94%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 5600 XT FPS - A580 FPS) ÷ A580 FPS) × 100
Example: ((45.8 - 43) ÷ 43) × 100 = 7%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If A580 is only 94% as fast, then RX 5600 XT should be 6% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "7% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (94% of and 7% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Example: ((28.6 - 27.6) ÷ 27.6) × 100 = 4%

The "4% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (97% of and 4% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

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 5600 XT FPS ÷ A580 FPS) × 100
Example: (15.5 ÷ 16.4) × 100 = 95%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((A580 FPS - RX 5600 XT FPS) ÷ RX 5600 XT FPS) × 100
Example: ((16.4 - 15.5) ÷ 15.5) × 100 = 6%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 5600 XT is only 95% as fast, then A580 should be 5% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "6% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (95% of and 6% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
