Although 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 able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 and the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X separately.
