Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
