Though 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. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 2700X and the GeForce RTX 2080 separately.
