Though you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080 and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700GE separately.
