Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080 and the Intel Core i9-11900 separately.
