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: (94.9 ÷ 98.1) × 100 = 97%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((98.1 - 94.9) ÷ 94.9) × 100 = 3%
You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is only 97% as fast, then RX 6900 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.

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: (61.9 ÷ 68.4) × 100 = 90%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((68.4 - 61.9) ÷ 61.9) × 100 = 11%
You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is only 90% as fast, then RX 6900 XT should be 10% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "11% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (90% of and 11% 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: (35.7 ÷ 42) × 100 = 85%
This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.
Example: ((42 - 35.7) ÷ 35.7) × 100 = 18%
You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is only 85% as fast, then RX 6900 XT should be 15% faster" — but that's incorrect.
The "18% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (85% of and 18% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
