Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, but you need to understand that in reality 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 AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and the GeForce RTX 3060 separately.
