Although you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in fact 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 GeForce RTX 3060 and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X separately.
