Though you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 4090 and the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X separately.
