Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in fact 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 Intel Core i9-11900K and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
