Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, but 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 evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-13980HX and the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile separately.
