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: (53.5 ÷ 58.2) × 100 = 92%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((58.2 - 53.5) ÷ 53.5) × 100 = 9%
You naturally think: "If RTX 2070 is only 92% as fast, then RX 5700 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.

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: (34.2 ÷ 36.7) × 100 = 93%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((36.7 - 34.2) ÷ 34.2) × 100 = 7%
You naturally think: "If RTX 2070 is only 93% as fast, then RX 5700 XT 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.

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: (19.8 ÷ 20.7) × 100 = 96%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((20.7 - 19.8) ÷ 19.8) × 100 = 5%
You naturally think: "If RTX 2070 is only 96% as fast, then RX 5700 XT should be 4% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "5% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (96% of and 5% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
