Although you can't dispute 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 with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
