Question / Help AMD Video Encoding Engine...

So I noticed that the AMD video encoding engine is supported in OBS studio... What my question is, is since I have an AMD GPU that doesnt support the video encoding, but I have a APU that supports it, is there there any way that I can use the APU to render the stream without having to take my GPU out.

SPECS:
CPU: AMD 6800k
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2
GPU: HD 6950
SSD: SanDisk 120GB
HDD: 1TB WD Blue

If obs currently does not see vce, you probably need to enable iGpu in bios. And then install apu drivers from amd site
I heard few times that vce is not very good for streaming but can do well recording stuff

The 6950 does not appear to actually support VCE.

OBS not seeing VCE support means the drivers aren't exposing the functions to it.

About 2 years ago, there is a post with the same hardware (see comments): http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2014/02/19/introducing-video-coding-engine-vce/ and maybe nothing changed. If encoder is not enabled by system/driver - then you can't use it in OBS Studio.

Of course, you can try single APU graphics and check - is the encoder accessible by OBS Studio?
Try to connect display to the motherboard and make onboard card "primary" in bios. If nothing changes or you'll see VCE in OBS Studio, revert all settings back and forget about AMD VCE. Because, if Studio should render itself to APU's internal card to use VCE, then you should use Multi-adapter compatibility option in any capture, and this is the slowest capture method, etc...

I set APU as primary, but still didnt work.. Just took GPU out and it works, but i doubt that it will make anything better
