Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090 and the Intel Core i5-10400F separately.
