Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-13600KF and the GeForce RTX 3090 separately.
