Although you can't dispute with the numbers from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be capable 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 9 3900X separately.
