Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X separately.
