Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable 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 9 5600X separately.
