Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1060 and the Intel Core i9-9900KF separately.
