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. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 980 and the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G separately.
