I guess I don't get the whole streaming thing. It does seem like a cool feature but I rarely if ever have any need for this stuff. Glad steam is out of beta today again.
 
My old laptop is so crappy that it couldn't run Dota 2 if i begged it.

Have been streaming Dota 2 to it from my big PC since the qualifiers of the International started. Not a hitch, perfect quality. This feature is indispensable, and i hope it becomes a standard in the future.

Oh, and i would write "well done, Valve, you get a sale from me", but it's actually free, so...

Off to buy more compendium points.

I played Shadowrun and Paper Sorcerer with streaming a couple months back. You think it's good enough for action games now? Pretty rad if so!

I found Borderlands perfectly playable.

It's brilliant for me. Laptop downstairs plugged into big telly. Beefy desktop upstairs with the power.

So stoked to try this out this weekend. I have my gaming computer in an office on the second floor and an HTPC in a home theater in the living room downstairs, seems like an ideal set up to test this!
 
As a Asus T100 user, I had no problem with streaming. Could run MGR at 60fps constantly at 480p. 30fps for 720p. Could've get higher if I had a better host PC (Core 2 Duo and HD4870)

Didnt really try it out, but it looked a bit laggy when i launched borderlands 2.
Need to get a real mouse for my laptop and see how it goes.
My guess is it would be fine for single player games but pretty bad for multiplayer shooters.

The beta was responsive enough that I could play Metal Gear Rising and Resident Evil 4 just fine on it. Something like Street Fighter or Counter-Strike wouldn't play very well, obviously, but it's great for a lot of games.

"responsive enough" doesn't sound very responsive tbh - these services will only become interesting if they provide the exact same level of responsiveness I have on my desktop pc, if you ask me. I'm not willing to make any sacrifices in this departement, especially not for just a little more comfort.

Can't wait to try this tonight. I'd love to play games from my PC on my Macbook Air since it isn't really that powerful!

Sounds like you're asking someone to reinvent the laws of physics.

How does it handle differing screen resolutions?

My desktop is set to 1200p and my laptop/television max at 1080p. What will happen?

Streaming is really responsive, and I'm really picky about that. Picky enough to think that remote play on Vita isnt responsive enough. In my experience with in home streaming, it's really hard to see input lag.

In that case, I am wondering why you even bothered to come into this thread in the first place. Surely you knew they didn't figure out a way to eliminate input lag completely during streaming?

Tested with a good gaming PC and a crappy laptop by wifi.

I couldn't notice any delay in the controls but I did notice it a bit slow in the frames compared to the other screen. Obviously with cable connection it would improve. Still pretty amazing, better than what I expected!
 
I seriously hope that's really good. The past two or so months of the beta had utterly shit performance on my system and wifi network, even when using the 5Gh band.
 
I had found that, even with my computer and router in the next room, I couldn't quite keep a consistent 60 frames, so I dropped it down to 30 and the experience was absolutely perfect.

I played RAGE at 30 frames on my bed with my PS4 controller plugged into my Mac, John Carmack would have been spitting in his grave but oh well, the experience was awesome.
