Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand 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 7 PRO 1700 and the GeForce RTX 3080 separately.
