What this means

The percentages are an average over dozens of games tested by Tom’s Hardware with the fastest gaming CPU. With a cheaper CPU like my Ryzen 5 5600G the gap between cards is often smaller, because the CPU starts holding the GPU back. It’s an estimate, not my measurement.

I have the RX 9060 XT 16 GB in my Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB + Ryzen 5 5600G test rig: 103 games with videos and measured FPS.

I have the RX 6600 8 GB in my Radeon RX 6600 8GB + Ryzen 5 5600G test rig: 254 games with videos and measured FPS.
