Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 and the GeForce RTX 3080 separately.
