Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality 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 Intel Core i3-13300F and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
