Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 separately.
