Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact 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 Intel Core i9-11900KF and the GeForce RTX 2080 separately.
