In indra/newview/llfeaturemanager.cpp LLFeatureManager::loadGPUClass reads the file GPU_TABLE_FILENAME and LLFeatureManager::parseGPUTable matches the string 'renderer' with it. You could start with printing 'renderer' and see if it's the same on windows and Mac and if not find out why not. If on Mac it makes sense nevertheless, you'd have to find out why gGLManager.getRawGLString() isn't returning the right thing. As a work around you could hardcode the correct string into your viewer.
