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 capable to work together. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X separately.
