Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in fact 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 Intel Core i5-12600KF and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
