Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3070 and the Intel Core i9-10900KF separately.
