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: (RX 9060 XT 8GB FPS ÷ RX 6800 FPS) × 100
Example: (48.2 ÷ 57.7) × 100 = 84%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 6800 FPS - RX 9060 XT 8GB FPS) ÷ RX 9060 XT 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((57.7 - 48.2) ÷ 48.2) × 100 = 20%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RX 9060 XT 8GB is only 84% as fast, then RX 6800 should be 16% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "20% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (84% of and 20% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
