Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090 and the Intel Core i7-10700K separately.
