Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i7-9700K and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
