Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to understand that in reality 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 Intel Core i5-13400 and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
