Though you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090 and the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X separately.
