Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT and the GeForce RTX 3080 separately.
