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: (37.7 ÷ 45.8) × 100 = 82%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((45.8 - 37.7) ÷ 37.7) × 100 = 21%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 82% as fast, then RX 5600 XT should be 18% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "21% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (82% of and 21% 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: (25.1 ÷ 28.6) × 100 = 88%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((28.6 - 25.1) ÷ 25.1) × 100 = 14%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 88% as fast, then RX 5600 XT 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.

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: (14.2 ÷ 15.5) × 100 = 92%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((15.5 - 14.2) ÷ 14.2) × 100 = 9%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 92% as fast, then RX 5600 XT should be 8% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "9% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (92% of and 9% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
