Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 and the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 separately.
