Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and the GeForce RTX 3070 separately.
