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. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D and the GeForce RTX 3090 separately.
