Although 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 capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Radeon RX 6900 XT and the Intel Core i5-10600 separately.
