Though you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1060 and the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 separately.
