Though you can't argue 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 together. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and the GeForce RTX 2080 separately.
