Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 and the GeForce RTX 3080 separately.
