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 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 AMD Ryzen 5 1600X separately.
