Although you can't argue 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. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-11400 and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
