Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-13600 and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
