PS4 remote play streaming is unexpectedly bad

[TubsAlwaysWins]

I am trying to get remote play working on my PS4 so I can play on an iMac (Its a long story, but basically work and limited computer space and stuff).  I have the settings set to 720p and 60fps, but its alot slower than it should be. The resolution looks like its 360 or 480p, and the fps drops below 30 sometimes. Anyone know why this could be? They are both plugged into a Netgear GS716T switch in ports right next to each other.

 

Thoughts?

Why not use the other Thread you made??

 

 

And the "27 inch iMac 11.3" is from mid 2010

And the Hardware looks pretty shitty, so its entirely possible that its not up to what you want and the CPU or GPU too slow.
Because that also needs some decoding on the PC side.

Well its not the computer. I got a couple programs running in the background and none of the hardware ramps up in usage or temps. Also its on the high end of those. (i7 and upgraded to 12GB of RAM)

It can still be the computer, as hardware being from 2010 may not be capable of even decoding 60FPS 720p video streamed via remote play, even if other video streaming services work OK, such as YouTube 720p60 for example. If you have another computer you can wire in to the switch / router to test performance, you can narrow down the variable causing slower than expected streaming / stuttering.

As for getting your PS4 controller to work via Bluetooth as you were asking in the other thread, I don't know if this is fully possible on MacOS, as it even took a long time to be supported on Windows, and required the use of DS4Windows for the longest time.
