Although you can't argue with the figures from this table, but you need to understand 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 AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT and the GeForce RTX 2060 separately.
