Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and the Intel Core i5-8500 separately.
