Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work together. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2060 and the Intel Core i3-12100F separately.
