Though 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. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650GE separately.
