Although you can't dispute 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. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-13400 and the GeForce RTX 3080 separately.
