Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i7-8700 and the Radeon RX 6800 XT separately.
