Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090 and the Intel Core i7-10700 separately.
