Although 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 capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 and the Intel Core i5-12600 separately.
