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 7800 XT FPS) × 100
Example: (117.7 ÷ 133.2) × 100 = 88%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 7800 XT FPS - RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) ÷ RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((133.2 - 117.7) ÷ 117.7) × 100 = 13%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is only 88% as fast, then RX 7800 XT should be 12% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "13% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (88% of and 13% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
