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 in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080 and the Intel Core i3-12300T separately.
