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 capable to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 4080 and the Intel Core i7-8700K separately.
