Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
