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 able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Radeon RX 5500 and the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 separately.
