Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the GeForce RTX 2080 separately.
