Although you can't argue with the numbers from this table, but you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work in pairs. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 5600X and the GeForce GTX 1060 separately.
