Though you can't dispute 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 calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 and the Intel Core i3-12100T separately.
