Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2060 and the Intel Core i9-12900K separately.
