Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable to work with each other. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 2060 and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X separately.
