Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and the GeForce GTX 1080 separately.
