Question / Help AMD APU Confusion :/

[CreamyJustice]

Hi all I replied to an old thread asking this so please forgive the repeat I just dont want it to go unnoticed.
I basically came across a thread saying that APU's are no good for streaming on especially low end ones. But my reply was as follows:

It's been indicate that an AMD APU is bad for streaming but thats because the user is also gaming on the same machine.. (and also using a low end APU).

Could I possibly get some input on whether a TWO PC build setup for streaming and the second PC being a Asus Crossblade Ranger with the 7850k APU and 8GB RAM be good enough to purely encode and upload the stream? eg: I have a 6k gaming rig whilst I have a test bench of sorts with the crossblade and APU free for capturing and uploading... Would that be upto doing 1080p 60fps? Since its sole purpose will to be encode and upload no gaming required...

No APU is going to handle 1080p60. They're meant for light web browsing and casual games.

I've yet to see anyone post an OBS log file with performance that impresses me doing x264 with any AMD APU, whether they're using discreet graphics for the GPU side or not. My understanding is that VCE sucks on APUs too, you need a decent discreet AMD GPU for that.
