Though you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, but you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be able to work in pairs. For such cases, FPS is evaluated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 1700 separately.
