Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and the GeForce RTX 4080 separately.
