Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1060 and the Intel Core i3-13300F separately.
