SmartBoost issues

[CRAZYLEGS]

Hello, 

I've been having issues with smart boost for a min. My issue is Gaming Activity priority. When I start a match I watch the graph because my games have been feeling delayed and hit reg is terrible. I'm not sure if its a visual glitch but im always under 1.00 mbps. Mostly near 0.30 range. I never hit 1.00mpbs at all. Now i'm not a expert at networking but I feel like id definitely need quite more than that. Sometimes it stays at 0.01. From what i heard you need a least 5mbps and i'm not even getting 1mbps.  

My Speed is 1g Down and 100 Up

I play PS5, Game is BO7 and I have the R3. 

I added the logs just in case you guys need it. I feel like Uncategorized Activity is prioritizing the playstation but there can be a possibility its something else getting prioritized. I feel like turning off Smart boost gives me better results.  

Thanks, 

Crazylegs.

Gaming requires very little bandwidth so the amounts shown are actually accurate but if disabling it works better for you that's fine, we just provide the tools, it's up to you how you use them. You could also try disabling gaming and prioritizing the device instead.

BO7 uses under 500kB/sec down and under 200kB/sec upload (5Mbps/1.6Mbps) on minimal texture streaming settings. Probably double once you bump the texture streaming up. There is a spike however at the beginning of each match as you load in (probably downloading initial textures, assets etc.) this is with looking at traffic captured via Wireshark, so there could possibly be a bug with the amount of bandwidth being reported? I regularly see "stats for nerds" allocate around 1.2Mbps to BO7 so i'm surprised it's running
