Although you can't argue 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 with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-9900K and the GeForce RTX 3090 separately.
