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: (RTX 3050 FPS ÷ RX 6600 FPS) × 100
Example: (37.7 ÷ 43.7) × 100 = 86%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 6600 FPS - RTX 3050 FPS) ÷ RTX 3050 FPS) × 100
Example: ((43.7 - 37.7) ÷ 37.7) × 100 = 16%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 86% as fast, then RX 6600 should be 14% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "16% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (86% of and 16% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.

Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 3050 is only 99% as fast, then RX 6600 should be 1% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "1% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (99% of and 1% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
