Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-11900KF and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
