Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-12900 and the Radeon RX 6800 XT separately.
