Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 3500X and the GeForce RTX 4050 separately.
