Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 and the Intel Core i5-12400F separately.
