Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i7-10700K and the GeForce RTX 4090 separately.
