Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 and the Intel Core i5-12400T separately.
