Has anyone here tried this yet? If so, what games did you play and how was the performance?
My HTPC has been out of commission for a few months now but I plan on getting it up and running in the near future. I'm curious about using this to stream Steam games to it.

This is awesome, no more building multiple top tier systems just to play games at ultra settings in my computer room/living room/bedroom.
What is the reported latency even on 1gig networks?

I imagine it wouldn't be too bad on an all wired gigabit network or have a router that has gigabit wireless. Both being on wireless may present some problems though. I wouldn't play any FPS's on it, but for single player I'm sure it's perfectly serviceable.

I played with it a bit, works fairly well. Was able to play skyrim on a crappy laptop that wouldn't otherwise run it. There is a little bit of controller lag, so I wouldn't recommend it for a multiplayer 1ps.

How does this work? There are a lot of times I would like to just chill and play a single player on my laptop instead of sitting at my desktop but my laptop has a meh GPU.
I can do this now just by turning on my desktop?

It's essentially like how a multiplayer game works, from a packet standpoint anyway. Your main PC does all the work and sends the signal to the server(your router), and your router redistributes that pre-rendered image to the attached devices on the network.

Nice. I'm going to play some TF2 on my tablet. I'm sure that will work out well

That should be interesting. 
If it work even remotely as well as the Nvidia Shield streaming, I would consider that a win.

I'm going to get me an Xbox One and stream my steam games to it to play through the media server.

hahah I don't think it works like that. I think the other device has to have Steam on it, in some form.
