Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i3-12100 and the GeForce RTX 2080 separately.
