Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work together. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and the Radeon RX 6900 XT separately.
