Though 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. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
