Though 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 able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3070 and the Intel Core i5-12600 separately.
