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 with each other. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 3 5300G and the GeForce RTX 3060 separately.
