Bitrate shouldn't be a problem, both groups use low bitrate encodes. Either:
you're comparing AVC to HEVC (usually from x265) encodes;
you're comparing 8 bit HEVC to 10 bit HEVC and your chipset doesn't hardware decode the latter but does the former;
encode settings from one group are higher (more max number of reference frames, more hardware intensive compression options).
There may be other reasons, but not being an expert with low quality encode groups I can't think of anything else. I download Tigole or PSA when I can't find better and replace them as higher quality becomes available.
Edit: still very thankful for both those groups and the uploaders, without them a lot of great movies wouldn't be available at all.

Check the video codec properties in your video player if the filename doesn't say, and use a program like mediainfo, then you'll have a better idea of the differences between the way the 2 group encode their releases.

Did you check if both are 10 bit encoding (the most likely culprit)? Did you check encoding options (bframes, refs in particular), or encoding levels (4.1 vs 6.1 for example)?
What kind of a computer are you having problem with, and what kind of software are you using to read the videos? Even my 5 year old Moto G (a phone with the crappiest smartphone processor you could find), which doesn't have hardware decoding, manages to sort of decode x265 videos with VLC...

Have you really run the output of "mediainfo NameOfMovie.mkv" through a text comparison tool (like https://www.diffchecker.com/ or meld) and made sure only the bitrate and software version are different? It's hard to fathom how two different groups would use the exact same encoding options (there's a lot of them) except for bitrate. What about bit depth?
