Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i7-12700T and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
