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 able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce GTX 1060 and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700GE separately.
