Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1060 and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT separately.
