I currently have a 5400K APU system which I use to watch movies/TV Shows with Kodi Media center without any issues. I got interested in streaming games from my main rig (gtx 780) to this PC but it seems that my current APU is just not able to decode H264 at 1080p/60 since it drops around 50% of the frames. Today I tested streaming to with my i7 laptop also using hardware encoding, which uses the Intel iGPU not the CPU, and was able to stream the same game at the same settings without dropping a frame.
I want advice from someone who was/is able to stream at this resolution/framerate and tell me if a Haswell Pentium Dual-core would be enough since its iGPU is supposed to be better than the one on my laptop's i7 Sandy Bridge. What about instead of changing my CPU+MoBo, I just upgrade to an A8/A10? The A10 would be about the same price than the Intel solution but I'm not sure if this is an AMD problem instead of the hardware decoding capabilities of the A6 being to weak. Thank you
PD: A would also consider a discrete Nvidia GPU but I would prefer not to get one unless I'm told an i3/i5 is necessary to decode at 1080p/60.
