This of course is not a solution that makes me happ
Wait.
I do not have a steam link, it's a stick pc.
The rtx 2060 super is in the encoding PC, not the decoding one.
It's totally the Intel UHD 600 of the client pc who can't handle decoding and drawing the screen at the same time. At least non for 4k 60fps I want.
I simply need a more powerfull PC or a dedicated hardware for streaming.
Too bad Valve does not make a 4k steam link device, I would buy it.
Instead, green team seems to offer what I need.
Well... first things first your OP is misleading then.
Secondly I am using a Raspberry Pi with the Steam Link App installed as a replacement for the missing Steam Link device. It works just flawlessly. I don't know what kind of "stick PC" you are using here but in terms of GPU horsepower you should be way beyond my Pi, including encoding and decoding workloads.
This basically supports my initial thought of you being connected to a 2.4GHz endpoint which caused a lot of trouble for me as well when I tried this stuff out for the first time. Other than that the only explaination that would make any sense at all would be your mini PC not getting enough power and therefore throtteling which was an issue I had when trying to power my streaming Pi from a USB-port on my TV rather than the delivered power supply for the wall.
I tought too it had enough power to stream 4k 60fps, but in reality it's far beyond that.
If you look at my screenshot you will notice network is ok.

Your APU should outperform even the 4th generation of Pi's and I am sitting on a 2nd and 3rd one. Both working just fine even on 4K streaming.
Anyways now that you've mentioned it... how on earth do you want to fire up a 4K stream with a 2060 Super anyways? I mean in order to get some 4K pictures to your streaming device your hosting one should be able to play 4K to begin with. Even my 2070 Super struggles on that one depending on the game.
So apparently your MiniPC is way more than you need but your gaming PC is out of horsepower here xD
Still, are you positive you've tested with HW decoding?
I've been streaming to a Celeron NZC myself, it had a HW decoder
And I use a Celeron J4125 that DOES have support for HW decoding.

I am starting to think that 4k 60fps streaming can be obtained or using specific hardware or using dedicated gpus. Integrated ones can't do it.
Do yourself a favor & don't focus on integrated/discrete. Focus is on decoding H264 4k in hardware. That's what you need. There is integrated GPUs that can do that, just not the one you have.
In case you want to feel flipped off by Intel, it decodes H265 in 4k.
Where did you got all these info? Ofc now I want to be sure to buy something with the correct decode support.
To start with, I modded the card in a way that temps are no more in the picture of limits and it holds the record on 3DMark for his specific model in everyday setting. OFC not the fastest 2060 super on 3DMark, but a fast one.
Second, I play a lot of games that I can run TOTALLY in 4k. I didn't provide a screenshoot from Helldivers at random, the idea behind gaming in the livingroom is playing games like Brawlhalla, Lovers in a dangerous spacetime or some good old emulators.
Third, as soon as a GPU worthy of an upgrade comes up UNDER 600€ I am going for it and I don't want the rest of my "gaming infrastructure" to not be ready for it.
Fourth, a good g-sync display can do wonders in games that I can't really run at 60FPS.
I was lagging at fallout 4 at >100ms screen delay.
I'm using a Nvidia shield pro.
Changing the output resolution on the shield to 1080p solved things.
I'm now stable at 16ms 😊👌
