Subject: RE: steam inhome stream

the streaming really is amazing

there is not a fraction of delayed latency and the picture quality is unreal
of course im running off a wired gigabit connection, but hot damn, i didnt expect it to be this good

nothing requires elevated administrator privilege when both client and server launch, so the 'hooking' tech is quite mysterious to me
its definitely not a display adapter, nor does it inject anything
but im sure it has a direct hook on gpu data, then the cpu transcodes the video using some magic instruction set

i havent monitored the gpu, but i also havent noticed a single missing frame in performance, and the cpu is only taxed around 15% higher than it should be

amazing
