Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in fact 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 AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the GeForce GTX 1060 separately.
