Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work together. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090 and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT separately.
