Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-8400 and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
