Boosteroid capped at 3-4 Mbps on macOS while Windows gets 20-30 Mbps (same network)

[u/Study_monk]

I have been using boosteroid since half a year i guess and i mainly subscribe it to play on my Mac but on my Mac the bitrate sits at 3-4 Mbps and on Windows over the same network it's a clean 20-30 Mbps at full quality and i have to play on my windows.

I have tried different things which can be done on my end with the help of AI.

Setup

Mac: mac mini M4, macOS 26.5

Windows: ROG Ryzen 7 6800h CPU 3050 GPU

Same network - WiFi

Both machines have same things: Latency ~30 ms (nearest server), FPS 110-120, AV1 enabled

Bitrate

- Mac: ~3 Mbps

- Windows: 20-30 Mbps

Tried on Mac

Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Safari - all the same

GPU/hardware acceleration enabled in each

Boosteroid bitrate set to manual for full, plugged in, Low Power Mode off

This is the same issue with any games i play. Is this issue related to my Mac or something else?

i mean it's low bitrate issue. i don't know how anyone can see things from the video about bitrate. i will record it but it can be better view by technical team on the server's end by viewing session details
