Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-12900KS and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
