Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 980 and the Intel Core i9-10910 separately.
