I received the beta in the first wave, so I decided to check it out as fast as I can.

Host (PC):
Windows 8.1 x64
AMD A8-6600k @ 3.90GHz
1x4GB RAM @ 1866MHz
ATI Radeon 5790 Graphic Card
OCZ Vertex3 120GB SSD
1920x1080
Gigabit connection

Client (Laptop):
Ubuntu 13.10 x64
Intel i7-2630QM @ 2.90GHz
2x4GB RAM @ 1300MHz (I think)
Nvidia GT540M Graphic Card
Seagate 120GB HDD
1366x768
Wifi N conenection

The first game I tried is Prototype 2. This game has some serious FPS lag spikes on my PC, probably because of my APU. With this game, streaming was smooth, I just had the usual FPS lag I have in my PC. I didn't play a lot, just to try the feature.

After this, I tried CS:GO. At this point, I realized I could speak through TS on my host using my laptop (just additional info). With this game, I had some streaming lag issues, probably caused by the WiFi. I'm sure this wouldn't happen if I connect the laptop through the gigabit connection.

Then, having in mind the fact that I could speak on TS when I was streaming, I decided to try a game which was not on steam. I added League of Legends to my host's game list and opened it on my Linux. It worked ! I played a custom game to check the quality of the game and the fps ratio, and it was acceptable, but I have to say WiFi streaming have to get better. I had several fps lag when I casted some skills, as W from Akali (it leaves a cloud on an area). I finished the game from the client and had to go to my PC to close the game (not the game but the launcher), because it didn't close on my laptop.

To conclude, I tried with World of Warcraft. This wasn't a good idea, probably because Steam tried to open Battle.net beta launcher and not World of Warcraft himself. After changing the shortcut from "World of Warcraft Launcher.exe" to "WoW64.exe" and later to "WoW.exe" (because WoW64.exe didn't work neither), it opened. I logged into my character, and all the UI was perfect. I mean, when I change the resolution on my PC from 1920x1080 to 1680x1050 i.e., my UI is a mess. This didn't happen this time, since Steam In-Home Streaming just stream from 1920x1080 to 1366x768 scaling the screen, not affecting the game. I could read almost everything on the screen (I have really little text on my UI) with no problems. It only had some lag spikes when a priest passed close to me with glowing effects in the weapon.

As I have an exam in ~4 hours, I'll quit this and tomorrow I'll make a better "review" of this, playing on another room through both cable and wifi, trying to detect the differences, and I'll play not only steam games (dota2, prototype and CS:GO are the games I want to try with this, but I can probably check another one too) but non-steam games too (League of Legends, World of Warcraft @ raids (LFR), Diablo 3 and Hearthstone).

I hope this is someway useful. See you all tomorrow.

Good night
