Though you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to understand that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Intel Core i9-12900 and the GeForce RTX 2060 separately.
