Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i3-13300 and the GeForce RTX 3080 separately.
