Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090 and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X separately.
