Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
