Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-13900KS and the GeForce GTX 1060 separately.
