Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080 and the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D separately.
