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 able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-13600K and the GeForce RTX 3090 separately.
