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 together. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile and the Intel Core i9-12950HX separately.
