Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3070 and the Intel Core i5-12600K separately.
