Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. 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 PRO 4650G separately.
