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: (B580 FPS ÷ RX 6700 XT FPS) × 100
Example: (59 ÷ 64.3) × 100 = 92%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 6700 XT FPS - B580 FPS) ÷ B580 FPS) × 100
Example: ((64.3 - 59) ÷ 59) × 100 = 9%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If B580 is only 92% as fast, then RX 6700 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.

This compares the slower card to the faster card.

Formula: (B580 FPS ÷ RX 6700 XT FPS) × 100

"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 6700 XT FPS - B580 FPS) ÷ B580 FPS) × 100
Example: ((26.9 - 26.1) ÷ 26.1) × 100 = 3%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If B580 is only 97% as fast, then RX 6700 XT should be 3% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "3% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (97% of and 3% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
