Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 and the Intel Core i3-12100F separately.
