Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-12490F and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
