Although 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 capable to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-10400 and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
