Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X and the GeForce RTX 2080 separately.
