Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the GeForce RTX 3090 separately.
