Steam - In-Home Streaming

I am thinking about spending £150 on the N54L microserver + get bit more ram + a low profile gpu like the 640 which should run quite a few older games on medium settings (bf3 @ medium @720p is ~30fps apparently) natively + steam streaming. And should come in at under £250 all in and will also serve as a always on NAS/media server and such

Although controller lag is minimal, display lag at this momet can be more obvious in certain titles.
 
As everything Valve does its for the long haul! I'm sure this tech will make more sense in a few years time as it gets passed onto SteamOS and Steam iOS etc. I got in the beta myself but I won't be able to give it ago until next week!
 
Well in the beta, and can only get a black screen on the streaming client, network connection seems fine on the monitoring overlay and it starts the game on the host pc just the client is a black screen, am wondering if shadowplay is causing an issue somewhere or if its something else.
 
I'm in.

Working pretty good so far. Noticed that if you add a non-steam game, it still works - most of the time. Couldn't get SimCity to work this way.

Only other game I couldn't get working was Walking Dead. Seems to render to a different "screen" to the one getting streamed. The client machine just gets the desktop of the host machine streamed to it.

This feature is a game-changer for me.
 
I'm in & just tried a few games. Seems to work very nicely. I was streaming to my bedroom though & wi-fi reception is a bit flakey there so will test it tomorrow downstairs in the same room as the router.

Is the server PC on standby on the lock screen?

Mine was, and this caused a black screen for me. I think using remote desktop then logging off might have had something to with it perhaps?
 
Just got an e-mail a few hours ago welcoming me to the beta - haven't got the time to try it out today but I'l be trying it out within the next few days, see how it preforms
 
Hopefully, my old pc is an amd phenom 9950 black edition with a hd5670 so should be interesting when I give this ago
 
If this works well it will be the best thing to happen to PC gaming, for me at least, in ages! My Steam folder is full of arcade games that beg to be played on a big screen :)

Exactly what I was thinking, it also got me thinking that I seriously need to upgrade my Wi-Fi!

The perfect setup IMO would be to have you main rig in you gaming/spare/man/girl cave and then have an Intel NUC hooked on the back of the TV streaming games over AC wireless.
 
Gave this a go last night, and it works pretty well. I'm loving these new features valve are pumping out.

Is anyone in their steam music beta yet?
