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 9060 XT 16GB FPS) × 100
Example: (55.6 ÷ 59) × 100 = 94%
"X% faster"

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

Formula: ((RX 9060 XT 16GB FPS - RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) ÷ RTX 5060 Ti 8GB FPS) × 100
Example: ((59 - 55.6) ÷ 55.6) × 100 = 6%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is only 94% as fast, then RX 9060 XT 16GB should be 6% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "6% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (94% of and 6% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
