Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
