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