If your client is a Mac, you may have to select 'All Games' to see the game you want to stream rather than the default selector of 'Mac' (which hides all the Windows games, of course, even if you can stream them - probably a bug that will be fixed).

Obviously my setup - a Core i7-4770K host, streaming to a new MacBook Pro with Retina display - is going to be absolutely fine with the highest settings. Presumably if you're using a wimpy netbook as the client, you won't be able to enjoy full 1080p streaming.
