Though you can't dispute 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. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Radeon RX 6950 XT and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X separately.
