Though you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to know that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able 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 9 7950X3D separately.
