Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 4050 and the Intel Core i5-8400 separately.
