Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-13900 and the GeForce RTX 3080 separately.
