Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. In such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and the GeForce RTX 3060 separately.
