Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and the GeForce RTX 4090 separately.
