1080p Ultra
Full HD — max settings
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: (38.3 ÷ 45.8) × 100 = 84%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((45.8 - 38.3) ÷ 38.3) × 100 = 20%
You naturally think: "If GTX 1660 Super is only 84% as fast, then RX 5600 XT should be 16% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "20% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (84% of and 20% 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: (23.8 ÷ 28.6) × 100 = 83%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((28.6 - 23.8) ÷ 23.8) × 100 = 20%
You naturally think: "If GTX 1660 Super is only 83% as fast, then RX 5600 XT should be 17% faster" — but that's incorrect.

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: (12.6 ÷ 15.5) × 100 = 81%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((15.5 - 12.6) ÷ 12.6) × 100 = 23%
You naturally think: "If GTX 1660 Super is only 81% as fast, then RX 5600 XT should be 19% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "23% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (81% of and 23% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
