Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. 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 PRO 3900 separately.
