Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i3-12100F and the GeForce RTX 3090 separately.
