I can assure you I'm doing it correctly. What you got in Forza was -23%, not 23%.

I thought we're supposed to do [Bigger Number - Smaller Number] divided by *Bigger Number* multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.
But I see you're keeping the 1060 as the base/origin/100% and working the %diff from it.
Now I'm genuinely confused as to which method is the correct one. Having a little trouble understanding why what I was doing was wrong and why keeping the 1060 as base is correct.
Hope you can teach me some math rules :) Cheers for all the great work as always

I worked out the issue, you are doing your percentages wrong ;) you have your 'to' and 'from' around the wrong way.

I'm not seeing these mistakes. I also don't know how you got the numbers you did. Take Forza for example, you say "Forza Horizon 4 should be 23% not 31%".
GTX 1060 3GB = 59 fps
RX 570 = 77 fps
That's 30.5% faster for the RX 570, not 23%.

And hence you should get an avg of 11% for RX 570. vs an avg of 10% for GTX 1060.
RX 570 faster by 1% on avg should be the final result.

But wait. There's more mistakes. Luckily only in 5 out of 8 of the RX 570's percentage difference wins.
AC Odyssey should be 2% not 3%
Battlefield V should be 5% not 6%
Dirt 4 is correct
Forza Horizon 4 should be 23% not 31%
Hitman DX 12 should be 22% not 28%
Strange Brigade DX 12 should be 14% not 17%
The remaining two Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Sniper Elite are correct.

There's a mistake in the RX 570 v GTX 1060 3 GB Percentage Difference graph. You've written it as RX 570 being 4% slower on avg when it should be 3% faster. I've checked about 5 times.
[UPDATE: So initially I thought only the math in the final image was incorrect. But on further investigation, some of the percentage numbers were calculated incorrectly also. Upon lengthy checking of all results I found mistakes in only some of the RX 570's win percentage numbers. Explained below]

Hey Steve, I got an idea - the 'Percentage Difference' graphs at the end show the difference based on Avg FPS. What if, maybe in the same graph using a different color, you could include the Percentage Difference based on the Minimum FPS / 0.1% Lows.
This could give a better idea of which games run smoother. Wonder what you think. Cheers for the absolute legendary work btw
