Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work together. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 and the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X separately.
