Is my theory correct?
Two years ago I was playing Satisfactory by myself. I had a GTX 670, i7 940, 24GB RAM, etc. One day I logged back in to find the performance was terrible. Before I logged in I was getting around 40-50 FPS with medium settings, but now I was only getting 15-20 FPS with low settings. I had no idea what changed. I tried windowed mode, full screen, adjusting settings, but nothing helped. I wasn't very tech-savvy then, but now that I've learned more, I think I understand the issue. My FPS would rise if I moved further away from my main factory, but drop again when I got closer. The GTX 670 only has 2GB of VRAM, and I believe all the machines in my factory exceeded that limit, causing performance to crash. It was even worse because my factory setup was a mess. I upgraded to a GTX 1650 and things improved, but at the time I didn't know what had happened. Does my explanation make sense? I'm not playing well anymore, so I only have details from what occurred.
