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: (51.6 ÷ 53.5) × 100 = 96%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((53.5 - 51.6) ÷ 51.6) × 100 = 4%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3060 12GB is only 96% as fast, then RX 6650 XT should be 4% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "4% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (96% of and 4% 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: (34.7 ÷ 39.8) × 100 = 87%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((39.8 - 34.7) ÷ 34.7) × 100 = 15%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3060 12GB is only 87% as fast, then RX 6650 XT should be 13% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "15% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (87% of and 15% 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: (20.1 ÷ 20.9) × 100 = 96%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((20.9 - 20.1) ÷ 20.1) × 100 = 4%
You naturally think: "If RTX 3060 12GB is only 96% as fast, then RX 6650 XT should be 4% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "4% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (96% of and 4% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
