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 5060 Ti 8GB FPS ÷ RX 6800 XT FPS) × 100
Example: (90.1 ÷ 93.6) × 100 = 96%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 6800 XT FPS - RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) ÷ RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((93.6 - 90.1) ÷ 90.1) × 100 = 4%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is only 96% as fast, then RX 6800 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.
