Though you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3070 and the Intel Core i5-10500 separately.
