Though 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 capable to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i5-13500 and the GeForce RTX 2080 separately.
