Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the GeForce RTX 4090 separately.
